  India leader advocates open source
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: News.com | Posted By: Todd Richardson

The president of India added to a growing foreign-relations headache for Microsoft with a speech in which he advocated broader adoption of open-source software. In a speech during dedication ceremonies Wednesday for the country's new International Institute of Information Technology in the university city of Pune, President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam recounted a conversation earlier this year with Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. "We were discussing the future challenges in information technology, including the issues related to software security," Kalam said, according to a transcript of the speech. "I made a point that we look for open-source codes so that we can easily introduce the users built security algorithms. Our discussions became difficult, since our views were different."
