Death sentence for Iranian web programmer
He was living in Canada for several years and apparently made some free open source software that was subsequently used in a porn site (without his further involvement or knowledge), as is oft the case and the reason FOSS exists.<p>He then was arrested on a visit to Iran.<p>Disregarding the ridiculousness of this specific case, it sets a dangerous precedent: anyone who has written open source code that is used by sites, and possible porn sites, could be just as guilty as this guy according to Iranian law.<p>I think I'll skip Iran on my next vacation for now.
