   He is an ardous warrior of the hacker culture, always fighting for freedom of   
   information, permeating wherever he was involved with values we share. Proof of   
   this is his lead in the project gutenberg,  which always fought against those   
   who want to profit with knowledge that belongs to humanity.   
      
   Also a guardian of hacker values and ideals.   
      
   Definitely sad news, because he is part of our conscience.   
      
   HOPE!
