HAVANA, Feb.6 (NNN-Prensa Latina): Cuban Enterprise software DESOFT has
reported that the U.S. impeded home users access to Source Forge, the
largest repository of open source projects online.
Sources from the Cuban company that is dedicated to finding solutions
within and outside the island, said the U.S. restriction strengthens
Washington’s hostility against Havana.
“With this decision we are prevented from further updating the
improvements in these applications, and ratifies the inability to make
ours,” said Wilfredo C. Diaz, vice president DESOFT Development.

It is a penalty to break with the very definition of what is open
source, which violates their bases and with which discriminated
results,? said the director who lamented that the measure is aimed
against the application of new technologies here.
Earlier the White House took action against the Caribbean nation in
that sector, as the popular travel site Amadeus becomes useless when
included as a destination any Cuban city or airport.
As part of the denial of access to the web, the American company
Microsoft said in May 2009 it decided to block the Windows Live service
to Cuba.
Upon connecting to this tool, it reads: “Microsoft has cut the Windows
Live Messenger IM users to U.S. embargoed countries, so Microsoft will
not offer more Windows Live service in his country.”
Three other sites have been blocked; Cisco Systems which specializes in
technologies to access, routers for Internet access servers and
equipment in the field of digital video
(http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register.do).
SolidWorks (http://www.solidworks.com/sw/termsofuse.html, automated
design systems) and Symantec
(http://www.symantec.com/about/profile/policies/legal for protection
software virus) are part of the list.
