There is no good software in India and other countries for Linux. If you want to run business accounting software, you have to run Windows. And there the prices are so high for Windows and there is no enforcement, so they pirate. They do crackdown on things like Autocad for architects and animation software pretty hard though.

I realized this not only because I'm familiar with the way Autocad prints look, but there were, in large letters printed 'FOR TRIAL USE ONLY' Until they start enforcing copyright protection, quality software alternatives will never get the boost they need.
