Indian Government's Reported Move Makes News, Then Fuels Skepticism (Linux Journal)
[Posted October 21, 2002 by ris]
Linux Journal looks into India's
commitment to Linux. "Is India serious about Linux in education,
or just setting the stage to ask Microsoft founder Bill Gates for a handout
when he visits in November? Economic Times, India's most influential
business newspaper, has dropped hints of government plans to push a
"countrywide drive" to promote GNU/Linux as the "platform of choice". But
Indian enthusiasts of Free/Libre Software and open source are treating the
promises with skepticism, if not downright suspicion."
