+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.
