Kevin Free

Posted by michael on from the mitnick-schmitnick dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "Surely many of you will remember that before there was ever a cry to 'Free Dimitry Sklyarov', Free Kevin Mitnick was the call of many. He was convicted on 'hacking' charges, though many on the Internet found the charges and trial to be unfair. He was freed in January 2000, but not allowed to touch a computer or log onto the Internet until January 20, 2003. See the story at CNN or read some background info at freekevin.com. "

    I think this merits a third freedom option.

    * Free-as-in-beer
    * Free-as-in-speech
    * Free-as-in-Kevin

    Where is the Free-as-in-CowboyNeal option
