   Free software has made you Richard Stallman's bitch. Here you thought you were   
   giving it away for free. You did not pause to think that you were up for forty   
   days and forty nights *writing* it for free. You did not think you spent   
   another forty days and    
   forty nights *fixing* linux distros for free. This is the "free" in "free   
   software."   
      
   Richard Stallman is a Hebrew software communist. Common Lisp is his Mitzvot.   
   The Lambda function is his Kabbala. Emacs is his vellum. Free software   
   licenses are his Talmud. GNU is his San Hedrin. Anonymous is his radical Likud   
   party. The golden super cow    
   is his false god, Sudo.   
      
   When he speaks of freedom it is tongue-in-cheek. No. When Rabbi Stallman   
   speaks of freedom it is tongue-in-ass-cheek.   
      
   By "free software" he does not mean "free" as in "free beer." He means "free"   
   as in "you write it for free." Chew that cud, sudoer.   
      
   Under-employed? Richard Stallman will employ you to milk his gnu goat.   
   Wildebeests are ugly. Why can't he just use a Jersey cow for his logo?
