    Hello fellow slashdotters.

    I've been thinking a lot and I would just like this opportunity to point out that:

    1) The GPL is not a free license, because a truly free license like BSD would not have any restrictions (except for any restrictions the BSD license has, I haven't really read it or the GPL very closely);

    2) programmers need to feed their families, and the GPL forces them to live in carboard boxes and add "GNU/" their family names, also it ruins capitalism;

    3) RMS is fat and he smells of body odor (although I've never seen the man in person, I strongly believe this is true).

    I hope my well-informed, carefully constructed, and finely nuanced arguments help you to make your own decisions regarding so-called free software (i.e., only hippies use Linux).
