I fully agree. The success of open source model has lots of people completely confused. Most of the time they just take open source to be free as in "beer" and then start complaining why should it be like that without bothering to delve a bit more deeper and go into the values and ideologies behind it. I call them the classic victims of M$ FUD practices. :)

I have proposed a talk on my project in FOSS.IN. It is up with the panel for review. I hope to show off my work there and formally launch it in the developer community. Looking forward to meet you there.

Rajiv, you're absolutely right. That's why people like us get frustrated at the narrow minded views and give up. Unfortunately, it's an uphill battle but one that is worthwhile.

I'm really excited about going to FOSS.IN. I haven't registered yet but it'll be a great way to hook up with other like minded folks in India. I've been having a VERY hard time finding open sourcers in India.
