the free software movement (open source is only a very small piece) is all about social change
If you want to help social change you can a) join a non-gov organization to help on your country problems b) visit your favorite church/political party/whatever and organize events to talk about linux, free software etc.. c) teach youth in social risk about the benefits and how to use linux ( as I personally do from time when I can, few times a year) , not about the mechanics of distributing software. it is exaclty about that, about producing a better product that people will be happy to use.
--dismantling the patent system in the United States and around the world... making knowledge and technology (at a marginal cost of zero) freely available around the globe for the benefit of all mankind... fostering world peace through the free exchange of ideas (which no man my own), free dialogue, free technological intercourse, and free "as in freedom" science and technology (of which open source software is a small piece).
Unfortunately the real world does not currently work like that.. and If you want to change that, it is fine and I applaud your efforts. join to "nosoftwarepatents" movement, talk with you congress representative or whatever, but here we produce a linux distribution and this lists are designed for that purpose.
I do care for the free software movement, FOSS, and opensuse... and truth.
if you care about the truth, then stay with the proven facts.
