I know some people on this list have done it already, and I have already done it as well today morning, and still no reply yet. And this is not about arm chair criticism and such, just that looks like they *might* be doing a lot of violations - copyright and gpl - I can be wrong, if so, some please correct me. Mostly Govt bodies are mislead by certain bad citizens of FOSS and thusly we see such kind of crap. I am hardly sure of how much of original work was put in this distro and would really like to know that. Slightly tangent but, iirc WB probably has the largest number of GSoC candidate concentration in India. Some even from IIT KGP. Those people should be pulled into the community ( like the DGP guys are doing so well ) so that they can know,learn,believe and act like good citizens in FOSS world. Cheers!
