Why we are inheriting the same "open source" clause in FSF progamme invitations?

Regards,
sir, Following is the site which has the sentence quoted.. http://www.careers.eweek.com/slide/Top+100+Most+Influential+People+in+IT+Par... It was eWeek magazine who come up with the list...they have another site showing "how we ranked them" This is what they say about who ranked the list: "A committee of veteran writers and editors from Baseline, CIO Insight and eWEEK were asked at the beginning of the year to nominate individuals they thought should be on the list" they also shows the following as the criteria used for making the rank list: "
- The person's tangible track record of information technology success. - The scope of influence the person has beyond his or her own organization. - The ability of the individual to effect change. - The level of engagement the person has in developing today's emerging technologies."
In the second website quoted, Jhon McCormick(Editor -in-chief) also says why Bill gates is not in the list which is the funniest part of all these..as he(Bill gates) is spending more time in charitable foundation and not in Microsoft....
I think atleast we can avoid citing the rank list of people compiled without knowing what free software is and whats the philosophy it is representing

The words were originally written by eweek. They were quoted in the following programme quoted below.
I hope and think that the error has been fixed. The email did not say that the program was by FSF-I, another program organised by FSF-I talks only about free software, and does not mention "open source".

It wasn't an error. Confusion was created because the invitation did not say who is the organisor of the event for which invitation was forwarded to FSF India list. Eben's talk in Technopark is being organised by Technopark itself. It is primarily for companies in Technopark.

If FSF India publicizes a talk organized by Technopark, it should not copy the text posted by Technopark. The text posted by Technopark promotes "open source". That may suit Technopark, but that's not our goal.
So we should use text that promotes free software, not Technopark's text.
