FSF is not doing the same. They are helping the customers to select the products that are compatible with Free Softwares. Actually, many products are compatible with free softwares. But people don't know. In order to select better, It will help. FSF does not have any profit in that. FSF is a charity organization. The benefit comes to the community. This is my personal opinion. > regards > Praseed Pai > http://praseedp.blogspot.com > -- Regards, Anish A http://identi.ca/aneeshnl സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം തന്നെയമൃതം സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം തന്നെ ജീവിതം പാരതന്ത്ര്യം മാനികള്ക്ക് മൃതിയെക്കാള് ഭയാനകം - മഹാകവി കുമാരനാശാന്
