OpenBSD Meets The Cat License Sketch [updated]

Posted by timothy on from the there's-no-such-thing dept.

Ash'aman writes "The OpenBSD crew have just posted lyrics and illustrations for the upcoming release of OpenBSD 3.5. Included is a hillarious parody of the Monty Python 'cat license' sketch with respect to their battle against software patents over redundancy protocols. Check it out here." The sketch is ready; the software is listed with a May 1st release date. As several Monty Python fans have pointed out, the original sketch is officially called the fish license sketch; the cat just comes earlier in the script.

    I would think considering the stuff that comes with an OpenbSD release since 3.0, that even Anonymous Cowards would not post something that asinine.

    The fact that this release is themed after Monty Python kinda shows they do.

    I'm sick of following my dreams - I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.

    Nitpicking the transcription of a Monty Python skit in a Slashdot post, eh? Trying to win those last few Dork Points to put you over the top in the Dork of the Year contest?
