The party does not follow the IBM business model ('judicious mix') and stands by FOSS and OSS... even as per the recent speech of Sitaram Yechury. But implementation is always a problem. A major problem is that of the bureaucracy arm-twisting the ministers... This is also due to FOSS illiteracy. Again free s/w advocates need to teach these people about dealing with companies following dubious business models.
In case of the website in question ... take a look at the 'credits' link. It seems to be copy paste work. What do they have to say?
