Humans have fought many battle in the past. Some group won and some group lost. From the prehistoric ages we have been fighting over our various needs and rights. When ever somebody tried to take away our basic rights for our existence we have never looked back but fought bravely until we have either won it of we have lost our life.
In today's context, we are in a position where earth has become a global village due to very high level of technological advancement, but still there is a fierce battle that is being fought silently between two groups of people and the worst part of it is that many of us are completely unaware of the seriousness of the war and the consequences.
This war ( I would like to call it a war ) is between the proprietary softwares and the open source softwares. Two groups of seriously talented people are fighting the war since the inception of the modern day computers.
I would gladly accept that I am with the people fighting for the open source world to exist. A man's creation can only be made more beautiful if others can help him to do the job. Moreover, the basic idea of open source world is "Live and let others live". This brings a sense friendliness to this world. Isn't it, that our birth right is to be free? So if this people is helping us to achieve our rights and help the community by taking the help of the community then what is wrong in supporting this community driven movement.
So now if somebody asks me how to help this movement then I would say that it needs just a little time to learn the open source softwares. Just try out linux once. Take help from other to use it and learn it. This is a world where your exploration will never end and the word 'Piracy' will never haunt you. Try it once and you will feel the difference.I am sure anybody will love it once they use it for a little time. After u start using it you will definitely think off delivering something to the community and that day this movement will become the winner.
Lastly, I don't think this war is going to end very soon. It will run endlessly unless 'we' the common man change our mind and come out of the hands of the proprietary softwares.
