Have you asked CDAC for the sources? They are very friendly people, the phone nrs are on CDAC and BOSS websites. They are knowledgeable and know about Open Source licenses. They will share if you ask, otherwise: file an RTI.

BOSS was based on Debian, not Ubuntu. It was developed for the specific use case of being a standard client OS for Govt service computers, and never intended as a general-purpose distro for the public. Your expectations are wrong.
Also, there is no monolithic “Indian education system” whatsoever. In any case schools teaching Windows and MS Office to kids makes a LOT more sense since it’s something they have way higher chances of needing proficiency in for their future academic/professional lives. It’s not practical in any way to teach Linux instead.

We don’t have Linux in professional work because we don’t know Linux and We don’t know Linux because we don’t have Linux in professional work See it’s a chicken egg problem. Students should be encouraged to use Linux at school and on their PC.
