www.gnu.org is a good place to start about the GPL and its philosophy.
You can explain that and illegal pirated disc != free software , which
is a common strain of thought in India.

yes, "your" wiki page at www.linuxchix.org.in needs tons of love, so
feel free to work on it after making an account. Its only when you

frankly, its about you spreading LCIN ... we cant do it without you :)
