"Amir Rashidi", an Iranian internet researcher and activist, told Global Voices the following in an email:
"A piece of open source code can be used in any system. Just like many of the nation's software programs, such as the Saina application and national search engines. An open source programmer who releases his code publicly is no longer responsible for the use of his code after it is published. With Saeed's open source code, you could have built a program to either upload pornographic photos or religious ones. Unfortunately, in our country the lack of understanding about the work done by individuals such as Saeed is not the only problem. In our country, there is no clear law about cyber crimes. Saeed was a victim of a lack of understanding from the regime about his work and the absence of clear and transparent rules of cyberspace."
A happy birthday to Saeed in computer language (Binary):
