FOSS Manifesto
The FOSS community in India is running a campaign to have support for FOSS included in the election manifestos of various political parties.
The Free and Open Source Software community in India calls upon political parties to make FOSS usage and promotion a central part of the IT, e-government and education plans in their election manifestos.
FOSS is software which is liberally licensed to grant the right of users to study, change, and improve its design through the availability of its source code. The open, inclusive and participatory nature of FOSS is a natural fit for the vibrant traditions of Indian democracy and its emphasis on sharing knowledge. Since software is the foundation of the digital economy, India's IT infrastructure should be built on FOSS and not on closed, proprietary software systems that enforce restrictive licenses, limit the freedom of users and encourage monopolistic behavior.
A petition for the campaign has been created and the objective is to collect as many signatures as possible and then submit the petition to various political parties.
