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)."

He made a funny about "free as in speech"! Get it? ...beer, free as in beer...HAHAHAHAHA! It's a reference to free software... how it is related to free speech... HAHAHAHAHA! Yes, I am not sure where this guy is from but boy is he funny! Who invited him to the party? We gotta have this guy over more often! Honey? Come down here a second and listen to this guy 'tell it like it is' in a really funny way. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! "An open source beer", that's priceless. "Gurana beans" Gold. Just pure gold. How do you do it? So many stories get posted here on Slashdork but then you see a funny gem like this. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Pure hilarity. When's the last time you actually tried to explain this to someone and so wittily remarked about it? But the brilliance of you associating in the beer with "speech" had me splitting my sides.

    Liter? Kilogram? Celsius!? What the hell kind of commie recipe is this!?

  4. Where's the source? by AccUser · · Score: 0, Troll

    So I can download the recipe, but not the ingredients. Isn't that rather like being able to download the makefile for a software project, but having to write the code yourself?

    its definitely a european beer. That means it should be served just below room temp, not well chilled
    Right. Because all European beers are the same, aren't they? I mean, if it wasn't for the label, I wouldn't be able to tell a Guinness from a Stella Artois.

    I call bullshit - it's a disgrace that you got modded up when you simply haven't got a clue what you're talking about.
