Would Ramanraj volunteer to draft such a memorandum [to CSIR]?
Sure. We could collect points and prepare a memorandum. This is definitely a step towards promoting use of free software in India, but this cannot be treated as an official memorandum of FSF-India, unless the FSF Board decides otherwise.
It may be better to discuss this at Fsf-discuss and those interested could subscribe to the mailing list at http://mm.gnu.org.in/mailman/listinfo/fsf-discuss . The obvious reason for this is that the postings in this regard while putting together the memorandum to CSIR may be long.
Please continue this thread, if it relates to points to be included in the the memorandum to CSIR, by posting to fsf-discuss@mm.gnu.org.in
Regards, Ramanraj.
