Raj,
I think there would be problem if you chose to adopt or recommend the
*mode of educating* Free Software in Kerala. Nothing that I know here
uses the opportunity to equip student community to get introduced to
Free Software through its different Freedoms other than *Freedom
Level 0*.
Without getting into the details of whether the Kerala experiment is a
total, partial or not at all a success from a free software point of
view, all I wanted was soft copies of existing work that can be used for
schools, for teachers and for train the trainers programmes under an
open licence. If there are lacunae in the courseware we're quite open
to filling them. However, without those basic tools the whole
discussion is meaningless for me, at least from the specific requirement
with which I approached the list -- all it means is that we need a new
team to develop everything from scratch. Something someone said at the
recent FOSSCOMM meeting in Delhi led me to understand that all the
course (at all 3 levels) was available for download under an open
licence.
Regards,
