    Not only that, it violates many copyrights and patents! Which ones you ask? We're not going to tell you; you're just supposed to believe me.

    To our new Free Software Overlord.

      "Overlord" is not a good name for this position because it only highlights the lording-over aspects of the job. Since one in this position must take advice from many people and integrate ideas from different sources, a better term would be GNU/Overlord.

    They call themselves the FREE software foundation, but I emailed them to see if I could score a cracked copy of Half-Life 2 and they never got back to me.

    Is it just to make sure they get their own TLA? So, the FSF, started by RMS, appointed PTB to replace BMK... and then probably some reference to ESR.
