I understand what you said. People would like to hear from the iCON who has done such a big sacrifice of leaving AI labs of MIT to give the world free software which is free speech and free bear. He had the revenue model of selling the code he wrote on magnetic tapes and then with the advent of Internet and other accessories it failed.
Lot of people in IIT should be contributing to free software or to GPLed code in more than one sense.
I guess I have not seen something like that I come out of IIT. While the utility wget was written by an IITian.
Lot of people in IIT want to listen to him.
I strongly recommend those of you who have not heard him before to go there and listen to him.
What do you recommend to the people who have already heard the talk and taken conclusions from it.
Hi,
I just want to tell Naveen that we at IIT Bombay are contributing to the Free software movement for example the GCC Resource Center(http://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/grc/) and the Virtual labs project which are currently going on are completely based on the FSF philosophy.
I wrote my first GNU licensed software after coming to IIT Bombay.I have been motived by people like GN and RMS. And I along with many of my friends here are really excited about RMS' visit.
