What a complete joke.

Free Software is only a myth.

What starts “free” today becomes required support tomorrow as demonstrated by Red Hat and many others.

If all software is going to be free, then everyone should start a “Food Freedom Day” to feed all the staving programmers who produce all the “free” software.

There is no such thing as a free lunch!

Wake up and smell my “not free” coffee.
