Nobody is denying free speech here. Would you go an sing funeral song in a marriage? This group is about Free Software. Now you have every right to create your own group to promote proprietary software. > +What is wrong with a proi..try software? if that meets customer needs, let > them use it.However, us being FOSS user and evangelist we ought create > awareness among people about foss movement, not about propi..try > alternatives. Proprietary software denies Freedom to its users.

Yes, we did not poke them. But we created our own software and showed it does not have to be only proprietary way. Their normal play of denying freedom itself is not acceptable to us. Obviously we don't go around and forcefully stop proprietary software. But we can definitely talk about the problems of proprietary software and build Free Software. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected]
