Actually, since apparently one in five human genes is patented in the US, you may be breaking copyright if you use apt-get to get the source. To get around the patents, you'd have to go back in time and get two people to make your (to them, future) wife the old-fashioned pre-patent way. Of course, they'd have to brain-wash her so that by the time the present comes along, she will forgo all others and wait for (anticipate) and settle for you. :) Some of us believe that this happens already on our behalf and we get a better half upon which we can't apt-get update or upgrade.
