From the olpc-uruguay list in an unrelated thread:
"Si utilizamos las claves de desarrollador (que son las que permiten
hacer cualquier cosa en la maquina), pero al momento solo se entregan
por solicitudes puntuales (proyectos de grado por ejemplo)." - Ing.
Daniel Castelo - Plan Ceibal - Área Técnica
http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/olpc-uruguay/2011-April/005222.html
Rough translation:
/"We do use developer keys (the ones that allow you to do anything with
the machine), but at the moment they are only given for specific
requests (like for example thesis projects)." - Eng Daniel Castelo -
Plan Ceibal - Technical Area
/
I know its not official but its a pretty clear indication that developer
keys are not available to everyone.
This makes Yama's concerns valid and important, I think.
Since the board will probably meet in UY next month, this should be an
item in our agenda.

following Martin's timely advice, may I please try again, so we can
finish this with simple answers?
the question is (or are)
1. is locking users out in compliance with current GPL?
2. does Ceibal lock out users?
3. is there a known procedure to get keys for Ceibal users?
4. is Ceibal in compliance with current GPL?
5. if no, who should follow up? the FSF? the Sugarlabs Board?
6. were of-record (2, 3) Ceibal policies to continue, would it be
in compliance with GPL3?
7. if no, who should follow up? the FSF? the Sugarlabs Board?
I know that 2 and 3 are almost rhetorical, but in the interest of not
building other questions as "loaded", I add them there. There even
might be good news I am unaware of that someone who is better informed
can offer!
Thank you
Yama

Folks --
one thing we need to be in good intellectual shape to handle loaded
questions. Everyone here probably knows them well, but I just re-read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question
and it was rather refreshing and useful.
In general, if you don't know much about a topic, it is a good idea to
*avoid* making inflammatory statements and accusations.
You can ask, but please don't mix the valid questions with accusations
or loaded questions. It doesn't help anyone.
cheers,
