INTERNET, patrimonio dell'umanita' protetto dall'UNESCO

Dal 2001/2003 l'UNESCO ha considerato il Free Software un patrimonio dell'umanita'. Secondo le parole di Stallman, anche se non riflettono la posizione ufficiale dell'UNESCO:

But our freedom is not permanently assured. The world does not stand still, and we cannot count on having freedom five years from now, just because we have it today. Free software faces difficult challenges and dangers. It will take determined efforts to preserve our freedom, just as it took to obtain freedom in the first place. Meanwhile, the operating system is just the beginning--now we need free applications to handle the whole range of jobs that users want to do. Whatever job you want to do with your computer, you should not have to give up your freedom to get it done.

UNESCO has always supported the extension and dissemination of human knowledge. I'm grateful to UNESCO for recognizing that, in the domain of software, free software disseminates human knowledge in a way that non-free software cannot do.

Ecco io credo che l'UNESCO dovrebbe proteggere INTERNET, cosi' come l'abbiamo conosciuto finora, patrimonio dell'umanita', proprio con la stessa motivazione, che in questo caso si applica ancora di piu'.
