FSF Wants Your Vouchers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the light-side-of-the-force dept.

Ridgelift writes "California residents can help support the Free Software Foundation by donating their Microsoft vouchers to the FSF. In turn, the FSF will be able to convert the vouchers into hardware. There's more information here at the FSF website. With 1.1 billion dollars in vouchers Microsoft is forced to pay through the recent anti-trust court case, it's satisfying to see some of those fortunes being spent to help create good software for a change."

    Arright let's get the obligatory sentiments that come out every time the FSF is mentioned out of the way for everybody.

    RMS sucks, f0rK the FSF, what'd they ever do for me anyway, no more GNU software on my computer, I'm gonna go play with FreeBSD, now dammit where'd I put that compiler.

    Ok, now that I've said it for all of you please feel free to talk about something that hasn't been said a million times before.

    Your computer probably keeps crashing because you're an idiot. Which has nothing to do with Microsoft software.
