Free Beer That's Free as in Speech

Posted by Zonk on from the best-of-both-worlds dept.

darkonc writes "The CBC has notes and an interview with Dane Rasmus Nielsen who decided to reduce the confusion between 'free as in speech' and 'free as in beer' by making a beer free -- in speech. The result is Vores Oel, an open source beer. The CBC site includes the recipe for the beer which is made with Guarana beans, and gives it a bit of a caffeine-like hit. The danish site downloads include the label for the beer (which is also Open Source)."

    No idea. Considering the opportunity for using it to smuggle cocaine into the country, its probably not a very favorable position.

    Its all very stupid, IMHO. Cocaine in comparable quantities is a safer stimulant than caffeine. Like most of the "war on drugs" and and other such rediculousness during the 20th century, this is all politics, nothing more.
