[Fedora-trans-pt_br] Editorial para a Revista

Olá, amigos Eu gostaria de perguntar se alguém poderia traduzir o editorial para a nossa terceira edição da Revista Fedora Brasil. Segue o texto: ------------------------------ As the Fedora Project Leader, it's a great honor to be asked to talk about the project for Fedora Brazil Magazine. In English, the word 'honor' has several meanings. One meaning is the one I just used above -- a consideration given out of respect or esteem. But 'honor' can also mean virtue or high moral character: in other words, doing the right thing. And that, to me, is the essential meaning and purpose of free/libre and open source software. It's about giving people everywhere the ability to do the right thing, to be creative, and to be successful. For instance, free/libre and open source software removes the need for people to illegally download copies of proprietary material just to make their computers useful. There are free/libre and open alternatives for almost every possible need. My family and I have been living life without proprietary software for several years and not missing it at all, thanks to Fedora. Browsing the Web, writing email and documents, managing family photos, and enjoying videos and music are simple and easy. And rather than being isolated from other users, my software makes me part of a community, with neighbors that share my interests, and like any good neighbors we help each other. Doing the right thing is easy with free/libre and open source software. For years, in businesses, schools, and governments around the world, millions of people have copied software without entitlements. They have built costly proprietary solutions built on closed standards that prevent them from moving and re-using information efficiently. And they have done all this while feeling stranded and isolated from others in the same situation. The costs inflicted by proprietary software have become an enormous drain on the global economy, enforced by greed and ignorance. But free/libre and open source software offer the solution -- freeing the entire global information landscape. Now, people everywhere can be fully equipped with software that meets open standards, saving billions of dollars worldwide, and becoming full and equal participants in making that software better. The Fedora Project is dedicated to spreading free/libre and open source software. One of the ways we do that is by producing a complete computing platform approximately every six months. What sets Fedora apart is that all the software we provide, and everything we use to build it, is free of cost and legal for anyone to copy, reuse, modify, and redistribute -- now and always. Doing the right thing means making sure that when we give you software, you are also free to pass it on to anyone else. And because we make it possible for people to combine our software in unique ways, any of those combinations will guarantee the same freedoms to everyone who uses them or gives them to others. And we use those same principles not just in our software, but in everything from our websites and artwork to our tools and documentation. All of this work is produced by a community that shares a passion for bringing equality and open standards to homes, businesses, and governments everywhere. Our community also makes Fedora special, and you can become a part of it too.
