When Anil started this thread he must not have asked for all these instead of that he mentioned in the original thread. ;) Anil will be the perfect person to judge whether hes doing legal or illegal job and so are the interested hackers :)
just my thought .. Tusar

<snip> BTW, is there any idea what is the validity of the GPL in India. As far as I know, it is based on the US copyright law. I am not sure if that applies to us. Before you flame me, please keep in mind that this is an academic question and I am asking merely out of curiosity.
The issue of licensing and patents is assuming greater importance with the SCO suit, Bruce Perens's recent comments about IBM and the recent study (cannot remember the organization name right now) that said that Linux may be violating some 288 patents. For the next LUG meet we are trying to get a legal expert conversant with these issues to clarify these doubts. If anyone knows an expert who can give us a clear picture on the legal position with copyrights, patents and FLOSS, please send them across to me.
