Dear Fellow Luggies; I can sense many people will feel I am the reason for
Baskar unsubscribing from this list. So far in this thread I asked a direct
question and got vague replies. Now that this reply from Baskar has been
posted, I want to clarify. 3 months back, Baskar asked me if I could help him
in a 2-day workshop. I agreed, and in my slides, I displayed my company logo to
which Baskar objected, and said only his company logo should be displayed. I
then removed my company logo for the rest of the workshop, and politely
declined to involve in any further of his requests to help.
So in this thread when Baskar asked for help, again I asked for clarity; and
after 3 emails, it has emerged Baskar cannot do the program with his company;
but he is still insisting others to do only on behalf of ilugc, whatever that
means.

The aim of ilugc is to spread the knowledge, awareness and use of FOSS. I will
do this to the best of my ability, and largely I will be charging some money
for these activities. I do not feel guilty about it, since Free in FOSS stands
for Freedom, not Gratis. Instead of arguing, I am going to post about the
potential, skills available; projects needed, opportunities etc. revolving
around FOSS. If needed, I will put [Commercial] tag to all such posts to
satisfy the pedants. The growth of FOSS is more important than petty arguments
in a mailing list.
