HOW the hell can anyone hijack a peoples' movement? I saw that James Mathew used his gnu.org.in id to post this slashdot message. Why is FSF-India promoting this "hijack" theory everywhere?
Dear Vikram,
The fact that i used the official id for the slashdot post was a slip from my part and i apologize for the same. I would also like to clarify that the opinions stated in the post has nothing to do with FSF-India and are entirely my own. The rest of the mail, it think stands answered with this clarification.
I remember seeing the important people of FSF-India sharing the dais with the Left, holding important positions in the Left Govt. in Kerala, using the Left whenever some help is needed and then this dual standards... FSF-India cannot even get an appointment with a Minister without the help of the Left. It was the Left backed school teachers' assn which promoted free software in Kerala. It was because of the Left that patents in software were not adopted in Parliament... What does FSF-India have to say for itself?
