Hi Shiv, i checked out your article, one query however you mention :
`` The recent scandal involving software engineers at the National Security Council Secretariat who leaked information to the American Central Intelligence Agency allegedly saw some of them swap secrets including information on India's nuclear doctrine for jobs with Microsoft."
i don't remember hearing about this, and could not find any info on the same online. If you could please forward the link of this story that would be most appreciated.
One complaint however, you mention the terms ``Linux Operating Systems", ``Linux Ubuntu Dapper Drake" and ``General Public Licence Linux OS" would it not be fair on your part to also mention GNU, ASF, BSD and other communities without whom you cannot call that entity an operating system.
If the article's purpose is to raise awareness, it makes sense to also tell people about the community(s)
Anyone have any comments on what i've written ?
Regards,

This is a major news that was in the papers about a month or so ago. Please refer to the articles in the newspaper. Job offers with american companies for fat pay packets was the main inducement. I remember microsoft being specifically mentioned.
