Free Software Foundation of IndiaWelcome to the website of the Indian affiliate of the Free Software Foundation Free software is a matter of freedom, not cost. It is a matter of liberty, not price. The word `free' in free software has a similar meaning as in free speech, free people and free country and should not be confused with its other meaning associated with zero-cost. Think of free software as software which is free of encumbrances, not necessarily free of cost. Think of it as swatantra software. FSF
India is a non-profit organisation committed to
advocating, promoting and propagating the use and development of
swatantra software in India. Our goal is to ensure the long term
adoption of free software, and aim for the day when all software will
be free. This includes educating people about software freedom and
convincing them that it is the freedom that matters. We regard non-free
software as a problem to be solved, not as a solution to any problem Some Quick Links
