IMO FSF is one organisation while FOSSCOM is a banner of several organisations and individuals thus making FOSSCOM an ideal platform to take up the important issue of patents. In India, it was several other organisations and political parties which took up the issue of patents first. We need to look at organisational strength and potential and FOSSCOM has an advantage here. As proposed before, I think that if some sort of working groups can be created then each individual/orgn can make a choice and work on the issue that is closest to them. FOSSCOM is big enough for everyone and for all issues affecting FOSS. -- Vikram Vincent +919448810822 http://swatantra.org/ http://fsmk.org/ _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
