Great step. (Perhaps soon we may be seeing Free Software instead of Open Source - but I think it conveys the *spirit*.)
Hmm... can you elaborate on the 'spirit'ual aspect??
The current (TN's, not mine) spirit is spirit (alcohol) as in Free Beer. Assuming that TN Govt is not part of OS movement, the amended spirit would soon be that as in Free Speech.
Related to this, I have mailed to md@elcot.com (Thiru C. Umashankar IAS, Managing Director of Elcot) asking him to take a look at
http://www.fsf.org http://www.gnu.org
and requesting him to think about FLOSS and not just Open Source; Requesting him to think about GNU and not just Linux. Yet to get a response though.)
Visit http://www.elcot.com for contact information of the relevant folks.
