Could Krishnakant/Dr. Nagarjuna please clarify how was it that this
press conference came about?
What was the theme of the conference?
Were there any journalists other than that from Rediff Money involved?
If yes then it would be worthwhile going through links to their
articles as well to see how they did.
The point is that if it was Rediff Money that approached Krishnakant
for an interview regarding this 'low cost software' then they are well
within their right to ignore whatever Krishnakant said about freedom,
FSF, etc and post only what concerns them -- low cost software for the
visually impaired.
Also, I guess the author probably preferred to use Linux as against
GNU, FSF, etc since it's simply a better known name, hence relating to
a larger audience. To his credit, he at least mentioned 'open source'
next to free so that it is not confused with free(beer).
<flame-shield>What is it about GNU/FSF and credits anyways? Somehow
nobody in businesses want to mention their name on anything
