Olá! Sem querer disparar uma flame, vou colocar o que penso:
A maioria dos países capitalistas mantêm uma tendência ao neoliberalismo, por sua vez voltado à mercantilização de tudo. Em um ambiente como esse, conhecimento que não é mercantilizável, ao menos nas formas tradicionais, como o SL é, não é interessante e, portanto, deve ser combatido. Isso explicaria a "sintonia" entre SL e esquerda, principalmente a de linha mais "comunista". Eu acredito que SL deveria ser apartidário, mas infelizmente veja casos como o do Júlio Semeghini e do Nárcio Rodrigues, que obstruiram tudo o que puderam a Lei do SL... Infelizmente, não consigo ver muita solução nesse caso para disassociar a imagem do SL com a esquerda, se esse for o grande problema. 2007/2/22, Pablo Sánchez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Considerando o fator EUA, considerando que Cuba e Venezuela são considerados os grandes vilões d América Latina pelos torpes americanos... eu não sei se a reportagem terá bons frutos ou não. É quase como gritar aos EUA de uma ponta a outra que o SL é Comunista... Parece matéria comprada às avessas Penso no Bill cochichando no ouvido do jornalista: "Precisamos que vc faça uma matéria que queime o SL, mas que os trouxas do SL acreditem ser uma coisa boa, sem perceber que vai contra todo o american-way-of-life" (ou kiss-my-ass, como diria Osama... Osama nas alturas... etc e tal). 2007/2/22, Omar Kaminski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > http://www.it-director.com/blogs/Sageza_Amok/2007/2/cuba_and_venezuela_-_unlikely_good_.html > > Cuba and Venezuela - Unlikely Good Examples of Open Source Preference > By: Lawrence Dietz, Research Director Sageza Group, Inc. > Published: 21st February, 2007 > > A recent headline in my local paper, the San Jose Mercury News, attracted my > attention: "Cuba moving to ditch Microsoft, its products" (1).
