[pp.int.general] PPI GA Prague / Video Conference System for remote delegates

[Richard Stallman]

    A worldwide movement based on principles as "free software" on the one
    hand and "the same movement" including other principles like e.g.
    "freedom of speach" and "human rights" etc. on the other hand.

You can't put free software on one hand and human rights on the other.
Free software is a human rights issue: a nonfree program mistreats
its users by controlling them.  Thus, free software is on the same
hand as human rights.

Pirate Parties may need to set priorities among human rights
and decide which ones to defend.  Some may encourage adoption
of free software, while others do not.

However, there is no reason to compare them now.  The Pirate Party GA
should not require participants to surrender ANY of their freedoms
as a precondition for participation.
