Have just learnt that under the recently announced licensing scheme
for the cyber cafes in Mumbai, the Mumbai police under its list of
requirement vide point no 14 insists on a copy of Microsoft Open
License. This license fee is apparently prohibitive and apparently
still unclear on the licensing term for public use, and, restrains
cyber cafe operators from choosing
any other alternative operating systems. I would like to hear from
others who have more details. Specially someone in Mumbai. --FN
Yes, Dr. Nagarjuna did tell me ( and Anurag ) about
this development. Apparently the lead guy of the cybercafe association
has asked for help and is willing to move to Linux. Basic idea, is to
have a workshop for some number of cyber cafe owners to start off so
that they can completely migrate there Windows boxes to some free
operating system. After the workshop, we help a selected group or some
such to migrate and keep a check on them if things are alright at
thier cafes.
Unfortunately this topic never came at the lugmeet, my
bad completely.
But yes, its a good idea to implement. I am guessing there will be a
meet at HBCSE on 31st, is it? We can discuss it then? Dr. Nagarjuna,
can that guy from association drop in that day or some other day.
Cheers!
