Hi,
check
"Low cost software for visually impaired"
http://www.rediff.com/money/2007/oct/23linux.htm
i find this article to absolutely disgusting as ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION
has been made of the GNU, or the Gnome Project both of which are
responsible for the Orca project being there in the first place.
The is only thing mentioned is about ``free (open source) software"
without explaining what free software is all about and TOTALLY
NEGLECTING the 4 Freedoms critical for the survival of a Free
Software.
Moreover the focus has been primarily on Cost and nothing else.
Moreover the the comparison has been made with proprietary software
keeping ONLY the cost factor in mind. Well to that i say is there
anything more costly than Freedom? People have paid for it with their
blood and their lives. Why not mention Freedom then?
For the record i have nothing against people promoting software for
the visually challanged but i do have a problem if you are talking
about Free Software - in particular GNU projects and not bothering to
give a shread space to the ideals they stand for.
