Personally i think this is not so much of a HIV or the availibity of common medicine for the people.It is more of a restriction of the poor's individual efffort in accumulation of wealth.It may sound silly or foolish to mention it as wealth,but it is very real and tiring for them.These people has been struggling and toiling for donkeys of years just for the simplest common sense of to "accumulate my wealth" and yet because of execuses of "that is how the world economy functions",they has been brought back to where they had started out in the first place 3 years ago,in some cases about 10 years(the recent financial crisis in southeast asia and some other parts of the world a few years back). And their attitude towards this tiresome and unending toiling is "life still goes on anyway, right?".In view of these,Linux itself and the FSF movement in general actually is doing a great job for providing truly and honestly free products for those people,especially to their younger and future generation except for the "real" price for electronic accessibility and communication which sadly belong to that beast we have coined world economy.
Just a thought,"for what you thinking of these kind of thing" they once told me.
for the sake of not missing out anything,taken from that article from the first post :
