Manifest

Even trying to convince us otherwise, career and professional development in no case should depend on the social and economic circumstances of a country, and even less of the limitations of a company or its productive selfishness, and for this reason, we must be clear that in the world there are no borders, only those imposed by war and oppression.

What is software and what gives you the right to create it?

Software is a combination among Science, Engineering, Design and Art; and given that knowledge is free and since you acquire it, you have the right to create all you imagine till reach the limits of your mind, err well... or copyright.

There is a book published on 2007, The Plenitude, which explains this point of view better than anyone. Rich Gold (1950-2003) is the author. He was an artist, composer, designer, inventor, lecturer, and writer. Also, he worked at various times for Sega, Mattel, and Xerox PARC.
John Maeda gave a small twist to the model: Art / express, Science / explore, design / communication, engineering / inventing.
