+
+ We are just plain tired of being lectured to by a man
+ who is a lot like
+ Naomi Campbell.
+
+
+ In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at
+ Chicago Airport for take-off to New Orleans (where a Usenix
+ conference was taking place), one man stood up from his seat,
+ demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted
+ to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from
+ the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue
+ and returned to the airport gangway. Security personal ran onto
+ the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane.
+ After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed
+ onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few
+ OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby,
+ so we have an accurate story of the events.
+
+
+ This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us
+ about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes
+ it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he
+ has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone.
+ He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him
+ alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock.
+
+
+ We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We
+ remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a
+ requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of
+ free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's
+ in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful
+ influence which he could use so falsely.
+
+
+ We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree
+ builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that
+ OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and
+ scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply
+ patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice
+ neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for
+ users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely seperately
+ from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched
+ and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do.
+ All the other operating system projects make exactly the same
+ decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users.
+
+
+ Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free.
+ He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet
+ he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of
+ them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it.
+ Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official
+ GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows.
+
+
+ That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some
+ people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not
+ follow their own stupid rules.

+ Puffy and the mighty Cryptonauts
+ Trading with new lands by open C
+ Corporate monsters, many closing passages
+ Tempting harpies
+ 13 years of treachery
+
+
+ Journey's over, welcome home the heroes
+ Offering the bounty of their trade
+ Useful clothing spun from the golden fleece
+ For the people, free and very strongly made
+
+
+ But something's wrong with them
+ They will not take our free wares
+ "What's the matter good people?
+ Why are you so scared?"
+ Why?
+
+
+ Then one brave soul spoke out
+ "We're not allowed to take your gifts
+ Hipocrites has spoken
+ There are many new laws"
+
+
+ Hipocrites appears
+ "Puffy!
+ You must obey my new rules!"
+
+
+ "First rule one dictates
+ You cannot give your code away"
+
+
+ (In Greek) To your health, Nick, great bouzouki player and cool dude.
+
+
+ "And rule two dictates
+ You must give it to me
+ So I can give it away properly for free"
+
+
+ "The list goes on of course
+ But for traders this is all you need"
+
+
+ "This is madness!
+ He has lost his mind!
+ This defies the first law of free trade
+ Rule zero came before this rule one
+ Freedom means you cannot dictate to anyone"
+
+
+ Then Hypocrites goes mad.
