We LOVE GPL CANCER!!!
Read Stallman's (long) response to Mundie's speech at www.gnu.org.
Screw Ballmer!! besides, who cares if Linux doesn't make it to the
desktop? this is all about FREEDOM. There are some quotable quotes in
Stallman's speech, but one main thing is, it's OK to deal with some
technical inconveniences for the sake of freedom. Freedom!!! (ala
Braveheart)
