+ + What is up with some free software providers?! + They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind." ++ 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. +
+ 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: +
-
+
- 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..
+
+
- 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...
+
+
- 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. +

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