The main objective of the new OSS (Open Source Software) policy is to provide a path for rapid and effective adoption of open-source software in Indian Government offices, as well as to ensure strategic control in e-Governance applications and systems from a long-term perspective. All the adopted open source software shall be free from any royalty and redistributable.
