Please don't try to work it out alone. Raise it with FSF-India and other
active FSF/L UG. I hope, each one of us will have some contact with other
LUG members, plz join hands with them and go together. Damage is already
done and commissions might be distributed. So need more focused effort to
undo/stop it.
The affiliated colleges are very well aware about these relationships
and don't care much about all these. These relationships has done
enough damage to our education system in the past and these are not
new to our colleges.
As our education system has started moving to Linux / Open source
software, the proprietary software major has started doing all evil
things to stop that by joining hands with AICTE / Universities in
India.
We need not do anything to undo/stop it. As most colleges have
started moving away from proprietary operating system (especially in
the case of TN), a lot of damage has already happened to the
proprietary software vendor. Now, they are just attempting to
slowdown the Linux / FOSS migration process in education.
