Raj,
Please go back and read Raju Mathur's mail again

|Actually none of those documents has bee produced by FSF, India or |
|other. They are all contributed by individuals, on the invitation of|
|FSF-India to make appropriate posters, logos, etc. I guess you could|
|carry advocacy/fanaticism to the point of not accepting any document |
|(which includes pdfs and graphics) that has been produced using |
|proprietary tools, but it'd be a bit extreme IMO. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
They are individual contributors atleast willing to contribute in some
way to the free software movement. Images made with proprietary tools
must have got into www.gnu.org.in by mistake, mostly because the site
administrators didn't have time to check with pdfinfo and similar
tools. Those images will soon be replaced. Thanks for pointing them
out.
I will very much appreciate if you take the responsibility to approve
and certify images before they get uploaded to www.gnu.org.in. Are you
willing to contribute? We also need help in graphics designing, if you
good at GNU Gimp.
Thanks and Regards
ab

Does this mean non free tools get the approval of FSF India?
Also some of them will be redone with the Free
Software tools, by
orginal designer or others.
I wonder what prevented FSF India from doing this to start with?
One reason behind doing this is we need to have
the `source' in free
formats so that people can modify it using Free Software tools like
Sodipodi.
You can as well use the original sources for modfication. If it is ok to
create using Adobe products, what is the problem with modification.
I think they were corrected already. Need to
check.
It is still "Linux" as of 14:30, May 28.
