Fix Re: [OSS] Re: Fwd: Second OSS Conference - [Happy New Year] Follow Up

A recent visit to the Pune LUG website, http://www.plug.org.in/,
revealed that these statements are a bit misleading or inaccurate:
<...>
VietLUG's leadership has decided the addition of "GNU" to VietLUG's
name is asking for something not significant to the Vietnamese
Free/Linux/Open-source movement in at this time and that they would
rather live without Mr Stallman's advice or support for VietLUG.

Notably, precedents for this decision have been previously made by
the Pune Linux User Group (PLUG) of India and the Las Vegas LUG
(LVLUG). References:

The PLUG website reveals that, though PLUG has not changed it's
acronym to satisfy Mr Stallman's criteria for speaking at a PLUG
event, PLUG has indeed included "GNU" in expansions of the acronym
"PLUG", to read "PLUG (Pune GNU/Linux Users' Group)", at least on
its opening page.

In news that may or may not be related, Mr Stallman will be a
presenter at The All India Free Software Festival, 16-February-2003.
Venue: Symbiosis Vishwa Bhawan, Senapati Bapat Road, Ganesh Khind,
*Pune*, India.
