'Edgi' is very separate from the so-called 'ouster'. Actually their responsibilities were modified. Some other controversies regarding their partisan role is also known.
The 'Edgi' part is well known to some CPI(M) leaders at least. These were discussed in the recent FOSS convention in Kolkata. Offers of unlimited number of Free PCs (if the wretched proprietary OS is purchased) are common.
It is also true that some 'FOSS activists' with strong business interests act in an non inclusive way. ..and mutual tussles are but natural.
FOSS can never be compatible with capitalism.
