[Softwarelibre] Acerca de las libertades de los activistas de software libre

[Hector Colina]

El tema de la libertad de los individuos va mucho más
allá del mero hecho de tener cadenas físicas sobre tu
cuerpo. En este sentido, pueden "apresarte" mediante
prácticas tales como confiscarte el pasaporte para
impedirte que salgas de tu país y que puedas declarar
libremente; ese es el caso de David Sugar quien, en
correo personal, informa de su probable no
participación en el venidero Foro organizado por solve
en virtud de que el gobierno de su país le confiscó el
pasaporte.

Vaya pues nuestro voto de solidaridad con David y
esperamos que pueda salir de esta situación engorrosa
para que continuemos trabajando en proyectos
conjuntos.

Saludos.
