That seems a bit depressing, mainly because it's just talking about the 
state of the bill itself.
A more positive aspect is that one of the results of the publicity that 
came from the letters was the
encouragement of a much more active Peruvian free software movement, 
centred on the
universities. I believe rms was just  down there to talk, and they've 
had contacts with people
from groups all over Latin America.
