Re: Understanding Free/Libre and Open Source Software (or, FLOSS)

Hi Tapan,

I've to disagree with you on your comment below. Story of Blind men and
Elephant is relevant with your comment.

To me its is about programmers, it is about community, its about ethics,
its about users (all programmers are users), its about sustainable
development, it is a way of life too. 

Free Software is about policy maker when s/he is making a policy which
affects my society. It is about a the costly information system when it
involves my contribution to state as a tax payer. Same about NGOs and
others.
