This is Rasta software

Jah Rastafari Livity bless our Freedom! This is free software, you

should share it for the good of yourself and your people, respect

others and let them express, be free and let others be free. Live long

and prosper in Peace!

But remember there is no Peace without Justice. This software is about

Resistance ina babylon world which tries to control more and more the

way we communicate and we share informations and knowledge. This

software is for all those who cannot afford to have the latest

expensive hardware to speak out their words of consciousness and good

will. This software has a full range of applications for the production

and not only the fruition of information, it's a full multimedia studio

and has nothing to envy to other proprietary systems, because freedom

and share of knowledge are solid principles for evolution and that's

where this software comes from.

In the panorama of existing operating systems we see that there is a

great number of possibilities to listen: all kinds of "free to

download" players for audio and video, but no easy way for everybody to

speak out loud and spread their words. The way communication is

structured follows the hierarchy of powers allready established in

babylon's mediascapes and, worst than ever, money is the main

requirement for making a voice spread and possible to be heard by

others.

Neverthless, proprietary software spreads the dependence from business

companies thru the populace: whenever we share our knowledge on how to

use a certain software, we make the people in need to buy the tools

from merchants in order to express their creativity. This is great

responsability for anyone of us who teaches somebody how to do

something with software: the need to buy will be slavery under the

merchantile interests of capitalism.

The roots of Rasta culture can be found in Resistance to slavery. This

software is not a business. This software is free as of speech and is

one step in the struggle for Redemption and Freedom. This software is

dedicated to the memory of Patrice Lumumba, Marcus Garvey, Marthin

Luther King, Steve Biko, Walter Rodney, Malcom X, Mumia Abu Jamal, and

all those who still resist to slavery, racism and oppression, who still

fight imperialism and seek an alternative to the egemony of capitalism

in our World.

Hic Sunt Leones.

And much Blessings in Jah Luv to All Those who still Resist.

Selah.
