Just a comment . "free knowledge" or "free and open knowledge" are
the
usual terms used by wmf and movement in general . the term open knowledge
movement may be misleading because it is the current legal name of open
knowledge foundation.

OKF or
okfn.org have an Indian office and plans to set up an india office
soon.
