City wants software freedom for all

,----[ Quote ]
| This year September 19, is software freedom day (SFD), a global 
| celebration of free and open source software.
| 
| There are three types of software, you can buy and use it, you can 
| download and use for free and the third is where you could dowload 
| it, modify the code and upload it for others to use. 
| 
| [...]
| 
| Announcing programs for SFD, Lokayat on Friday issued a roadmap 
| for countering monopoly of big companies.
| 
| They will mark this day by not using softwares like Windows, Adobe 
| Photoshop etc. Rishikesh Yewalekar, Neeraj Jain and Vaibhav Gupta 
| of the organisation said, âSFD is a worldwide celebration of Free 
| and Open Source Software (FOSS). The goal  is to educate the 
| public about ethical reasons and benefits of using high quality 
| FOSS.
