No OLPCs for Cuba, Ever

An anonymous reader writes "In a move going largely unnoticed by developers, the OLPC project now requires all submissions to be hosted in the RedHat Fedora project. While this may not seem like a big deal, the implications are interesting. First, contributors have to sign the Fedora Project Individual Contributor License Agreement. By being forced to submit contributions to the Fedora repository they automatically fall under the provisions of US export law. So, no OLPC for Cuba, Syria and the like. Ever."

Yeah, but Castro is some kind of immortal zombie communist.

When Castro dies, his brother Ramon will take over.

I thought his brother was Raul?

By the way, did you ever wonder what happened to the other Castro Brothers?

• Chico - Working at a small garage in Havana keeping all the '58 Chevy's runny. And, installing the little nodding dogs in the back window
• Ramone - Last seen doing a drag impersonation of his older brother Fidel in a Miami club
• Harpo - Makes the best Mohitos in Ft. Lauderdale, doesn't talk much
• Julio (now Conchita) - Works a corner in New York City
• Juan - Was standing against a wall, when an entire line of soldiers, cleaning their weapons, accidentally shot him. This had nothing to do with an argument he had with his younger brother Fidel, the night before, about who played the best Darren on "Bewitched"
• Raymondo - Fled Cuba after painting the slogan "Dick York Lives" on the side of Fidel's prized Bel Air sedan

"In the civilized world we can visit Cuba etc."

So, what about Europeans? Can they visit Cuba too?
