Indian Government Moves to Let Linux In 330
Webi writes "The government of India has started taking precise, wide-reaching steps to usher in a Linux wave in India." India sure seems to be a highly contested arena lately. Interestingly, India's plan calls for government-sponsored support and call centers. Looks like they've really thought this through.

My God, don't these people know what they're doing? The GPL isn't really "free"! RMS is very annoying! You can't make money with Linux! India's computer businesses will GO BANKRUPT!
This must be stopped now! Otherwise, people might read the GPL and actually believe that crap about freedom! Quick, Bill Gates, wonderful capitalist, get in there and teach these guys about the real freedom of Windows!
