Just some random links. I'll add to it as I run across them.

The Low Income Networking and Communications (LINC) Project is a project of the Welfare Law Center. Since 1998, the LINC Project has worked to build the technology capacity of low-income grassroots groups across the country, enabling community-based organizers and low-income individuals to gain a presence in public debates on economic justice issues, be informed, reach new allies, educate communities, share strategies, and participate in the democratic process. (Read more about LINC).
Here's something from LINC about Linux: http://www.lincproject.org/toolkit/cos_guide/operating_systems/linux

The color-scheme represents the total population of a country.
New laws in the USA not only make it illegal for US citizens to use or produce many kinds of useful software or inform/publishing research about such software (that's ok, after all it's their law), but also seek to prevent citizens of other countries from making such software or information available to the US.
Unless special measures are taken, this will make it hard for people in other parts of the world to exercise the rights defended and protected by their respective laws. One obvious special measure would be setting up a hosting service for these kinds of resources with the added extra of access control to make sure US residents and citizens won't be able to download the software or information. This way these resources will stay available for the rest of the world and only those countries who chose to be excluded (by Law) will be deprived of the software or information in question.
