Apologies for changing the subject but I though this makes more sense.

I understand the GPL well and am comfortable with it and I also thought GPL
will be more popular on this list. But point taken.

I am a recent volunteer and not a committee member.
I understand the resistance you are talking about. I have been an evangelist
for quite some time now and have had my share of wins and losses.
My strategy is to take it slow and steady - one step at a time.
I have volunteered to build some apps and since the tech/license for these is
my choice alone, all of them will be on FOSS technologies and will be under
GPL.
The reason I am GPLing them is so that everybody can use them. I hope LokSatta
is as clean as it is projected. If not, these modules will be useful to any
party.
The web-site is hosted by an external agency based out of Bombay and I am not
touching it right now.
I would all readers to not be too cynical. It may be difficult but we
definitely need to make an attempt.
Please do make it a point to vote for your favorite party on election day.
Remember that every single vote *does* count.
Thanks,
