By the way, anybody noticed more than linux-delhi or whoever,
it is really microsoft and all the non-free software companies that must push 
the indian government to tax sale of software in india.

because suddenly, the government will see a nice source of huge inflow of 
cash, and therefore, a really good reason to crack down on companies and even 
individuals who use what they call 'pirated' software.

and of course, people will then have the *true freedom* to choose between 
using freedom-based software, or commercial non-free software.

suppose, the government levies a modes 5.5% tax on all software,
lemme see, if i install freedom-based software that I purchased at Rs 0.00, 
what is 5.5% of zero?
