free and open source software

Richard M. Stallman recently visited the Occupied Palestinian Territories for a series of talks on Free Software and related issues. After a false start when Stallman scheduled talks at Israeli universities, he acquiesced to the condition that on his Palestine-sponsored tour he would respect the boycott on Israel[0]. Ultimately, his trip was sponsored by ISOC[1], an organization committed to bringing free internet to Ramallah, along with a community fundraiser free from any corporate sponsorship.
