pace for<br>
public discussion of the software, which is a political discussion that can=
<br>
be carried forward on a political level and from a Peronist view but open t=
o<br>
all who want to participate".<br>
<br>
Obviously they want to make the adoption of Free Software their partisan<br=
>
achievement but not to speak of political freedom because these friends of<=
br>
big business, dont want the people's emancipation. In any case, the nat=
ional<br>
bourgeoisies want "their" working classes to work for them and fo=
r the State<br>
taking care of their extraordinary profits, giving to the people a "fi=
nished"<br>
software, in many cases with available source code but:<br>
<br>
Without the necessary activity for the people to take all the freedoms of f=
ree<br>
software?<br>
<br>
0) The freedom to run the program, for any purpose<br>
1) The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt to your needs.<br>
2) The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor.<br>
3) The freedom to improve the program, and release the improvements to othe=
rs,<br>
so that the whole community benefits. Access to the source code is a<br>
precondition for this.<br>
<br>
How will free software (bad called "public") get to the people? W=
ill the<br>
people know something about the 4 basic freedoms?<br>
<br>
In the website of the CLAD (Latin American Centre for Development<br>
Administration) regarding the issue, not even once mention the word freedom=
<br>
or liberty<br>
(<a href=3D"http://www.clad.org/reforme/boletin-324/proyecto" target=3D"_bl=
ank">http://www.clad.org/reforme/boletin-324/proyecto</a> -software-public-=
international).<br>
CLAD is an international project that brings all States benefiting from the=
<br>
definition of "Public Software". The project began in Brazil<br>
(<a href=3D"http://www.softwarepublico.gov.br/" target=3D"_blank">http://ww=
w.softwarepublico.gov.br/</a>) and now spread to Argentina and other<br>
countries.<br>
<br>
There is much talk of "Public" but these projects are woven behin=
d the public,<br>
or at least people are called to be "viewing public" rather than =
producers of<br>
reality: the calls to the vaunted "Federal Bureau of Public Software&q=
uot; was not<br>
done to all the activists of the Social Movement of Free Software: rarely<b=
r>
summoned some which could be aligned with the National Government of<br>
Kirchner. The rest were excluded from any prior notice.<br>
<br>
It is remarkable that into the NGO SOLAR it had happened as follows: one da=
y<br>
someone asked what it meant "Public Software", days later An=EDba=
l Fern=E1ndez<br>
did the video interview published on his blog to leave "Free Software&=
quot;<br>
denomination, the NGO SOLAR bureaucracy responds with a critique<br>
(<a href=3D"http://solar.org.ar/spip.php?article784" target=3D"_blank">http=
://solar.org.ar/spip.php?article784</a>) (calling it an "add") &q=
uot;In this<br>
context the question arises why a project of far-reaching as Equal Connect<=
br>
incorporates proprietary software the laptops of the boys. The very idea<br=
>
of "public" is challenged by this action, which goes directly to =
one of the<br>
places where teens spend more time to socialize, which ultimately build the=
ir<br>
idea of citizenship. "and then the President of the NGO joins the Publ=
ic<br>
Software and yet with endless excuses. We already know that the one that<br=
>
denominate, dominate (<a href=3D"http://www.rebelion.org/noticia.php?id=3D1=
11147" target=3D"_blank">http://www.rebelion.org/noticia.php?id=3D111147</a=
>).<br>
<br>
Yes, the very idea of "public" is questioned, not only by the act=
ion of<br>
distributing computers with proprietary software, but also by the manner in=
<br>
which meetings are being held without calling the "public" in gen=
eral, the<br>
call is not free.<br>
<br>
So: the Open Source accomplished through the assistance of States and<br>
bureaucratic NGOs to conquer new positions and render the computer struggle=
<br>
for emancipation which is the Social Movement of Free Software.<br>
<br>
This sad trip is a great example about why the free software philosophy is =
so<br>
important, why it is so important to defend against the confusion of some<b=
r>
politicians of different states defending oppressors and an unjust capitali=
st<br>
system in which it is "necessary" to subtract the people's fr=
eedom so a<br>
wealthy social class can perpetuate in power.<br>
<br>
Public Software =3D Gattopardo: Change everything so that nothing changes.<=
br>
<br>
The Social Movement of Free Software has a fundamental task for the<br>
emancipation of society: to build horizontal organizations, free and<br>
independent from states and oppressive business that want to use "Free=
<br>
Software" or "Public Software" only to generate large profit=
s for the<br>
capitalists and juicy win elections while population is intended to play<br=
>
the "Public Viewer."<br>
