+                </header>
+
+                <p>The Free Software Foundation India (FSF India) is a
+                    nonprofit organisation committed to advocating,
+                    promoting and propagating the use and development of
+                    free (swatantra) software in India.</p>
+
+                <p>The special need of free software community in the
+                    current historical context.</p>
+
+
+                <h2>Background</h2>
+
+                <p>As the computer continues to become increasingly
+                    pervasive in our personal, social and working
+                    lives, the soul of the machine — software — is
+                    seemingly trapped in a battle of proprietary
+                    ownership.</p>
+
+                <p>In the early days of computing, it was customary for
+                    programmers to share software. Since the 1970s,
+                    however, much software has become proprietary, such
+                    that its users have been prevented from sharing, let
+                    alone modifying, programs. By the 1980s, proprietary
+                    software had become commonplace, and the computing
+                    community was losing the freedom to cooperate in using
+                    and altering software. Freedom was under attack.</p>
+
+
+                <h2>The Free Software Foundation</h2>
+
+                <blockquote>
+                    <p>The owners of software had erected walls to divide
+                        us from each other.</p>
+                </blockquote>
+
+                <p>Those words came from the one person who has
+                    zealously campaigned to safeguard software
+                    freedoms–Richard M. Stallman, a celebrated
+                    programmer and an accomplished hacker. (Contrary
+                    to popular belief, a hacker is not an anti-social
+                    being. S/he is someone who is passionate, even
+                    obsessive, about programming, as opposed to a
+                    cracker, someone who breaks security on a system,
+                    often with malicious intent.)</p>
+
+                <p>Stallman, then working at MIT’s Artificial
+                    Intelligence Lab, left to pursue the Free Software
+                    Movement in 1984, inspired by the ideals of
+                    American independence: freedom, community and
+                    voluntary co-operation, which leads to free
+                    enterprise, free speech and free software. He had
+                    already started the <a href="https://gnu.org">GNU project</a> in
+                    1983 to develop the free operating system GNU (a recursive
+                    acronym for GNU’s Not Unix).</p>
+
+                <p>In 1985 Stallman founded the <a href="https://fsf.org">Free
+                    Software Foundation</a>
+                    (FSF), dedicated to promoting computer users’
+                    rights to use, study, copy, modify and
+                    redistribute computer programs.</p>
+
+                <p>The FSF promotes the development and use of free
+                    software and free documentation. In particular,
+                    FSF promotes the GNU operating system, used widely
+                    today in its GNU/Linux variant, based on the Linux
+                    kernel developed by Linus Torvalds. These systems
+                    are often mistakenly called just `Linux’; calling
+                    them `GNU/Linux’ corrects this confusion.</p>
+
+                <p>The FSF (<a href="https://fsf.org">fsf.org</a>),
+                    whose headquarters is in Boston, Massachusetts,
+                    USA, is a tax-exempt charity for free software
+                    development. It raises funds by selling GNU
+                    CD-ROMs, T-shirts, manuals and deluxe
+                    distributions (all of which users are free to copy
+                    and change), as well as from donations.</p>
+
+                <p>The FSF also helps to spread awareness of the
+                    ethical and political issues of freedom in the use
+                    of software. The FSF believes that free software
+                    is a matter of freedom, not price.</p>
+
+                <h2>FSF India</h2>
+
+                <p>The Free Software Foundation of India (FSF India),
+                    the official Indian affiliate of the FSF, was
+                    formally inaugurated by Richard Stallman at the
+                    Freedom First! Conference at Thiruvanathapuram,
+                    Kerala on 20 July 2001.</p>
+
+                <p>FSF India will be the national agency for the
+                    promotion of the use of <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free
+                    software</a>,
+                    i.e. software distributed under the
+                    <a href="https://gnu.org/licenses/gpl">GNU General
+                        Public Licence (GNU GPL)</a> or
+                    <a href="https://gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html">other
+                        licences</a>
+                    approved by FSF, in all domains.</p>
+
+                <h2>The Vision of FSF India</h2>
+
+                <p>Broadly, FSF India will strive to ensure that free
+                    software is strengthened in all respects so as to form
+                    a genuine, credible and viable alternative to
+                    proprietary software for every kind of application.</p>
+
+                <p>To do so, FSF India will:</p>

+                        providing a quality assurance mechanism for
+                        free software; and ensuring the use of free
+                        software in government and quasi-government
