My only question is "What are the four essential freedoms of free software?". If they can list them I know they're alright
-
- Free
- Open
- Source
- Software
-
- Free as a bird, and this bird you cannot change
- Free to do what I want, any old time
- Free ride, take it easy
- Ok I ran out of songs now. Free as in
malloc?

Close enough, you're cool. Here's the actual list though (wiki link):
- Freedom 0: The freedom to use the program for any purpose.
- Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish.
- Freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute and make copies so you can help your neighbor.
- Freedom 3: The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public, so that the whole community benefits.

Hehe, I was just poking fun. I love FOSS and don't disagree intellectually with this stuff, but the way it's presented is a little off-putting to me. A bit too dogmatic for me.
