‘Open Source Activism’ Surfaces In Tyler

,----[ Quote ]
| In Tyler that social networking and "open source activism" has been vividly 
| demonstrated with the "Call + Response" turnout, which largely was an 
| Internet, text-messaging, e-mail phenomenon. Open source activism is defined 
| loosely as "add your own idea to the cause" and it's not just surfacing here. 
| It's all over our city, the continent and the countries of the globe.

| By Kerala IT Policy 2007, Clause 8.4, knowledge generated through public 
| funding should be freely available to the public. So we would believe that 
| the original excel file was already under a Free Software License. We hereby 
| give all derived work under GPLv3.

Latha Jishnu: Opening Windows to software freedom

,----[ Quote ]
| But it was also a meeting of high passion where the creator of the GNU-Linux 
| free operating system threw open the windows to the wide world of software 
| freedom — and its politics. I have heard him several times since then, at the 
| World Social Forum in Mumbai, at meetings organised by his fan following. But 
| his message has always been the same: seek freedom by throwing off the 
| shackles of patented software.     
|  
| Last week, Stallman was in India to celebrate the FSF’s triumphs in one 
| corner of the country where his philosophy has been taken to heart. This is 
| Kerala, where the India chapter of FSF has been instrumental in getting the 
| 12,500 state-run high schools to switch to free software over a two-year 
| period.
