I think such philosophical questions need to be discussed in much more detail before firming up larger policy issues for society, for the country and for Kerala.

 I agree with the basic vision Raju put forward - our primary goal is a society which has no divisions.

I think after we combine our reading of the situation with some classic interpretation of the environment that uses/promotes non-free software through the words of RMS, the contrast will get evident.

RMS, for instance, says that existence of non-free software itself is highly depended on a society that remains *divided* (as individuals). Its promotion definitely rests on this divisive-ness, ie, the more you involve yourself in non-free software, the more you are involved in dividing a community (preventing emergence of its *ideal*). That should be our *principal enemy no 1*.

One cannot have a community-oriented approach in such a divided society. Its a paradoxical situation. And conversely, promotion of non-free software is also not possible in a (free-software oriented) community. To me, this is the *reference point* of a framework from where an individual starts interacting with a community in which she is a constituent.

Our policy supports an *ideal reference point*, but this project of *Smart City* acts as a virus - it corrupts, distorts and reproduces the unwanted tendencies we are trying to prevent - the consequences are definitely not desirable. I this the present dispensation of people associated with IT ministry is very rare (to the best of my knowledge - I'm sincerely saying this)- we need to make the best out of it.

Lets continue with our discussion.
