As I've said a thousand times, no matter how Free Softies try to spin,
spin and spin they will never be able to re-define the meaning of "free".

The long socialist political campaign of the Free Software Foundation
(and its history of astroturfing misinformation and outright lies) is
rapidly crumbling. Goodbye Moglen, Stallman and PJ -- and good
riddance to all the lies. Soon open source software will begin to
realize its true potential.
