[smc-discuss] Like to bring all your attention related IT policy of some of the state funded institutions

[Nandakumar]

If their tools are web-based and the code is executed on the server

doesn't shout against it). Anyway, the JavaScript code should be under
free software license.

In the case of offline applications, yes, me too +1.
