Dear Friends,



*Happy Independence Day for all

*Hope you have already noticed that Central Government is seeking
discount from Microsoft for pirated Windows Operating System used by our
people. Also GOI have introduced a free anti-malware tool developed by
quickheal for Windows systems. Following links contains detailed news on
this.

The Hindu news on India presses Microsoft for Windows discount:

Government has developed botnet removal tool along with quickheal :

*Its time for us to respond against this. We have an Open Source Policy
and this is a clear violation of it. So we are going to send a letter to
*Ministry of Communications and Information Technology*, India
addressing the issue *"Protect nation from cyber security threats by
using Free Software" .

*The letter is hosted in Avaaz.org and I request everyone to vote for it
there. The link to the community petition is given *below*:

Please share this. We need maximum support, maximum votes and maximum
publicity. If you people could contact media, try to make this a news too.

Thanks You.

With Regards,

Athul R T
