Hindu has picked up the story.
http://www.hindu.com/2008/04/24/stories/2008042453580400.htm
Mammootty's office has reponded to the open letter.
This is in response to the fire ignited by free software lovers of the state against Mammootty's alleged association with Microsoft for the Computer Literacy Programme for computer illiterates of Kerala.
In this regard Mammootty would like to make it clear that Mammootty is in no way a part of the project. Mammootty has in no way associated with Microsoft nor held any discussions with them. Mammootty Fans and Welfare Association & Microsoft are envisaging the Project. As a person Mammootty is against any kind of monopoly in any area.
