   How can someone say we are thieves if we are buying the CD’s or OS’s from our own money!? In this case who should take responsible “FORMAX” or Teenager’s who buy the products?

   Very good episode. True, our government needs to think about these IT projects before they jump into spending millions.

   Gasim I think everyone should takes responsibility. The Teenager, The Formax and The Government. But I think it is not fair for Formax, that you guys have mentioned only formax. Surely there are other people who are selling pirated softwares too in Maldives.

   Zaraakii, if you really wanna know. I don’t for my personnel use and I replace it where I can (almost for the past 5 years). “There is a really a world where you can live without Windows on your desktop and it’s great!”. cheers!

   so chopey, I bet you have used pirated software’s sometime in your life. Don’t you guys think of bringing this matters to the governments attention by any other way maybe “forcefully” like the host said, maybe have a rally or something like that, I’ll be more willing to help you guys. btw you guys are doing a great job we need people like you today.

    @zaraakii: there are people who really knows the benefits of open source and there are many people who are not on Windows.!!

    There is a world without Windows!

    Very informative and entertaining. thanks to all. I dont think i have heard of a dhivehi interview this long without making me bored.

    Good coverage of apps and other things. One thing i wish that you guys emphasise is to contrast between traditional properitary software and FOSS, even after the introduction of copyright laws. The fact tat you can download, own and _distribute_ is v significant advantage. As someone familiar with FOSS I know what you were saying, but for complete newbies the message is not that clear i think. Other than that its v good. keep up.

    Please make the google group of mlugmv readable to everyone without having to become a member of it to view posts.
    I guess this should make the overall discussion more open.

    This guys are good on what they too, we need support to build a community for developers in Maldives.
    Also we will need more active contributors.
