I have recently back to Mumbai after my Delhi visit. The
visit was for ELITEX-2002 (http://www.elitexindia.com)
exhibition. There I met many dignitaries. I have just made
it sure that all work done by NCST including Linux and
OpenOffice localization will remain in public domain. So
guys, don't worry about it. And as far as I know, nothing
has finalized about merging of CDAC with NCST.
