Yes, you did. We went through all this before with your abortive
ILUG-Debian effort. Please refer to that thread in the archives. The gist
of the discussion was:

"ILUG" was coined to represent chapters of "Linux India", and the purpose
was to promote unity and a sense of belonging. LI has not in any way
endorsed a name change (refer back to Raj's note about this a while back)
and in all likelyhood never will (not for anti-GNU reasons, but for
pro-Linux reasons).
