But this is not what they are doing. And you can see easily if you look around easily, government organization in India are mostly using nonfree software. And schools in India are using nonfree software. This is a terrible mistake, it is a foolish and disastrous policy, governments of course deserves to use free software. Every computer user deserves to have the four freedoms, and that includes government agencies that use software. But when it is a government agency it has a responsibility, a duty to choose free software. Because government agency does data processing for the public, and they have a responsibility to maintain control over their computers, to make sure that the data processing that they are doing is right. They do not, they cannot legitimately allow the processing of data to fall into private hands, so our private parties to have control over what their computers are doing.
