On a lighter vein, this will give a nice script for a conspiracy theory -
*
One cannot demoralize a wikimedian by peeping into the license of software
which he/she uses to contribute wikimedia projects. *
Rest assured, Praveen, that other than hoping that we will get enlightened
by expressing their views, FOSS advocates have no agenda towards us
non-FOSS Wikimedians.
You and I can continue to use Windows/proprietary software and hate
brinjals in peace.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Hi Pranjali,
You are welcome to join us at the next Pune meetup. I do hope you have
started editting Wikipedia. The first thing is to get a user-login id. If
you need any help, feel free to contact me directly by email or on my talk
page. MY user id is AshLin.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Veeven, thanks for your inline response :) Thank you for the links! :)
Imho - There is no doubt that this will prevent innovation. Even a
hassle or bureaucratic procedure completely discourages innovative
thinking & thought.
>From GOI POV Make in India cannot be possible if information is so
tightly controlled and to what purpose?

Obviously, you don't understand, WHO is forcing you? There is nothing to
rebel against.
This is my last post on this issue but not on brinjal.

Gentle reminder - we need a coordinator as well as members for this Task

That's good to know - thought it might be a case of asking for too large a
share of limited resources.
