What about changing this para:

When we use Microsoft's products, which do not give the 4 essential freedoms in Computing (Right to study, Right to copy, Right to modify and Right to Redistribute software), we are becoming helpless creatures. Non-free softwares like Windows are designed to keep users helpless and prohibit cooperation. On the other hand , Free software believes in sharing and cooperation.

to:

Microsoft's softwares do not give freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. More precisely, the four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:

The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Non-free softwares like Windows are designed to keep users helpless and prohibit cooperation. On the other hand , Free software believes in sharing and cooperation.

[edit] This very BAD

Anyone can Oppose, But...

post your comments @ http://eliteracy-kerala.blogspot.com/

To all friends, they are opposing microsoft-mammootty E-Literacy program in Kerala,

Anyone can oppose anything in India, but remember, we can stop or destoy anything, but it is difficult to make or construct one. Here these are the points you all have to be remember or think about... These are the facts...

1) Microsoft products are using more than 70% computers in Kerala.

2) More than 65% software companies in Kerala are using Microsoft products for development, and thousands of Malayalis are working on Microsoft products

3) My understanding is this is a E-Litaracy program is for common man

4) Be frank, Microsoft products are easy to use, easy to develop, easy to study

Think, why free softwares couldn't replace properatory softwares? Instead of these Rubbish opposes, Develop, Tune and develop free software products and make it powerfull to replace Microsoft products. We can do lot of things as below instead of your Rubbish opposes... 1)Start movement for the improvement of free softwares..

2) Hundreds of people in Kerala are living with no food, no water, no house, no education. Start a movement to protect and help them.

3) Start movement for giving awareness on free software products.

I've some questions to the people they are opposing this project and Mammootty: 1) Do you start a movement to promote Kaithari Clothes instead of Clothes of Branded companies?

2) Do you start movement to provide freedom to copy Film songs/movies to all?

So please do these type of rubbuiss movements and please work for the people of kerala...
