Hmm, sounds like you are saying that abstract goal of unlimited  
software freedom is
a higher goal than providing access to modern technology to  
disadvantaged children in
3rd-world countries. I don't wish to argue that point, but it is  
certainly a point
that could be debated. Why *would* the OLPC people wish to get their  
dicks caught
in the struggle between the free-and-open software community and the  
greedheads?
