Hello All,
As we all have seen the header "This List discusses GNU/Linux & GNU, GPL
Software"
This is what applies to the ILUG Cochin Mailing List as far I can think.
- We may discuss Free Software/ Open Source Software, Libre Fonts,
Media, Documentation etc.
- We may discuss on using Free Software on Non Free Platforms.
As seen from the discussion, a discussion on a proprietary application
sneaked into
the thread, while discussing on using a Libre Font. I guess the only
option is to
send a private email and keep such discussions out of the list, or to
start a separate
thread which may discuss these, as the importance lies in spreading the
information
about Swathanthra Software, but not at the cost of promoting or
propagating Proprietary
Software.
Thank You
Regards
Sameer Mohamed Thahir

Hello Bobinson,
Take it easy, and if it my fault, I apologize.
My first question was regarding an opensource application - Firefox.
My explanation on installation - The fonts mentioned are GPL GNU /
Public domain.
I agree the OS I mentioned is not opensourse, but I remember the
group discussing lot of opensource apps problems on a closed
source OS.
So I do not think the discussion gone totally offtopic. Afterall
we were helping people who can't read unicode fonts.

And on a diff topic, we know each other too :)

I am no GNU fanatic. For example I am dare to say that Photoshop
is the most user friendly product out there in the image editing
world and Gimp UI show follow suite. But at the same time, my
idea about about a Libre / Freedom oriented group is discussions
about freedom and liberty and not otherwise. At the same time
Dinkar's discussion was about adding little bit freedom to an OS
which is otherwise not free. Its my duty as a list member to
cross check whether non-free discussions are allowed here -
especially when I am not 100% aware of the list rules.
@Devadas OT - it seems we have met once. Few years back and I am
still using the Debian distro you gave me :-) though not sure.

Bobinson,

Bobinson, "why so serious" :) lol
Why should we go soooooo strict in the list ?
If we keep on discussing things like installing Debian in
text mode or configuring a router, firewall and stuff,
why not something simple that is useful for the common man ?
The discussion started because I had a tough time reading
unicode websites in Firefox. I searched for months and
checked various links before posting in this mailing list.
I found there are people who are having same issue, and
that is how 'Safari' came to the the discussion, not
intentional.
The fonts I referred -
Meera - is a GNU GPL font and
AnjaliOldLipi - is the only public domain font available
for Malayalam
So it is not a big crime I guess ?
Anyway, leaving it to Sameer :)
Best Regards
Din.
