   <em>
   What is up with some free software providers?!
   They say "Here's something free!  Oh wait, I changed my mind."
   <p>
   While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which
   has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore
   we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided
   to go non-free.  After all.. having gone non-free, noone is
   going to remember them in the end.
   <p>
   This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who
   have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their
   offerings in the last few years:
   <ul>
   <li>David Dawes worked for years with a team of
   developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use,
   called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free
   code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that
   we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or
   stop using it.  Within about 4 months every project had
   told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a
   replacement effort.
   Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date..
   <p>
   <li>OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a
   packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed
   that we chose.  But a few years later he told us that we
   were not free to make changes to the code.  So we deleted ipf,
   and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
   one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
   <p>
   <li>The Apache group started from the humble beginnings
   of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free
   web server of dubious quality.  But the years have changed them,
   and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under
   a license so entangled in legalize that we have absolutely no
   doubt that there are encumberances hidden within.  Legal terms
   protect.  Who are they protecting?  Not your freedom.
   </ul>
   So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any
   others who will follow them:
   Make your stuff non-free, and something else will
   replace it.

   Well he rode from the ocean far upstream<br>
   Nuthin' to his name but a code and a dream<br>
   Lookin' for the legendary inland sea<br>
   Where the water was deep n' clean n' free<br>
   <p>
   But the town he found had suffered a blow<br>
   Fish we're dying, cause the water was low<br>
   Fat cat fish name o' Diamond Dawes<br>
   Plugged the stream with copyright laws<br>
   <p>
   <br>
   He said my water's good n' my water's free<br>
   So Pond-erosa, you gonna thank me!<br>
   Then he bottled it up and he labeled it "Mine"<br>
   They opened n' poured, but they ran outta time!<br>
   <p>
   So Puff made a brand and he tanned his hide<br>
   Said. "this is the mark of too much pride"<br>
   Tied him to a horse, set the tail on fire<br>
   Slapped er on the ass and the water went higher!<br>
   <p>
   <br>
   Pond-erosa Puff<br>
   wouldn't take no guff<br>
   Water ougtta be clean and free<br>
   So he fought the fight<br>
   and he set things right<br>
   With his OpenBSD<br>
   <p>
   <br>
   Well things were good fer a spell in town<br>
   But then one day, dang water turned brown<br>
   Comin' to the rescue, Mayor Reed<br>
   He said, "This here filter's all ya'll need"<br>
   <p>
   But it didn't take long 'fore the filter plugged<br>
   Full of mud, n' crud, n' bugs<br>
   Folks said "gotta be a gooder way"<br>
   Mayor said "Hell No! She's O.K."<br>
   <p>
   <br>
   "The water's fine on the Open range"<br>
   And he passed a law that it couldn't change.<br>
   "No freeze, no boil, no frollicking young"<br>
   Puff took him aside, said "this is wrong"<br>
   <p>
   Then he found the Mayor was addin' the crud!<br>
   So he took him down in a cloud of blood<br>
   Said "The Mayor's learnd, he's done been mean"<br>
   So they did it right and the water went clean!<br>
   <p>
   <br>
   CHORUS<br>
   <p>
   <br>
   So once agin' it was right, but then<br>
   The lake went dry, she was gone again!<br>
   Fish started flippin' and floppin' about<br>
   Yellin' mercy Puff! It's a dog gone drought!<br>
   <p>
   So he rolled up-gulch till he hit the lake<br>
   Of Apache fish, they was on the take<br>
   They'd built a dam that was made of rules<br>
   Now Puff was pissed and he lost his cool!<br>
   <p>
   <br>
   I'm sick and tired of these goldarn words!<br>
   n' laws n' beurocratic nerds!<br>
   You're full o' beans n' killin' my town<br>
   and if you's all don't shut er down<br>
   <p>
   I'll hang a lickin' on every one<br>
   of you sons o' bitchin' greedy scum!<br>
   So he blew the dam, an he let er haul<br>
   Cause water outta be free for all!<br>
   <p>
   <br>
   CHORUS<br>
   <br>
   <p>
   That's right!<br>
   I'll hang a lickin' on ya!<br>
   Never piss on another man's boot!<br>
