The tamil meaning is more suggestive of
'unrestricted'

Anybody's software foundation.
Name of the foundation should include 'freedom'.

menporul does not suggest 'knowledge' and is derived from 'product'.
I would like that changed too.

Best

Well, that might at times confuse, is it FSF.

A lot us are part of that also.

We have Apache Software Foundation, SPI all dedicated to Free/ Open 
Source Software.

Though we registered it as Menporul - as that is how is has been 
established over the period of time, Personally, I have started 
referring Software simply as Menmam (suggested by Ila. Sundaram) these 
days.

But, as the name has been registered, it requires more effort to take it 
off.

Thank you for the feedback. Will look into it at right time.
