Dear Eduardo,
Supporting the boycott is probably easier for an established mathematician like myself
than for a young mathematician without a permanent position.
On the other hand, solving this problem is important for the young generation,
since it concerns the scientific life of the future.
I agree that there are other modes of action,
like putting our papers on the arXiv. I am strongly supporting that.
But it does not address the problem of our libraries which are forced to spend huge sums of money
to buy knowledges produced by universities, not by publishing houses.

Best,
