Once upon a time was an American guy called Richard Stallman. He was the big priest of pure and clean Free Software, and was fighting against the big monsters from a european company - Troll Tech AS - because their graphical toolkit (Qt, which is the base for KDE) was not GPLd.
One upon a time was Red Hat Software Inc., a winning American company selling Linux, which was fighting against the big monsters from a European company, Troll Tech AS, because it was afraid having to pay a tax for Qt in the future.
Once upon a time was an "anti-project", called Gnome, entirely copied on KDE and wishing to kill it. This project was supported and financed by Red Hat Software Inc.
Once upon a time was Richard Stallman, the communist, the extremist, who was supporting Red Hat Software Inc., the worldwide capitalistic company (with investments from Intel and IBM) because it was supporting Gnome and was fighting KDE.
One upon a time was a capitalistic company called Red Hat Software Inc. which just announced IPO.
One upon a time were crowds of blind people, supporting Red Hat and FSF integrists.
Now questions are:
- does the FSF has stock-options in Red Hat Software? - does Richard the purist use vi instead of emacs (which he has created)?

Gnome financed by the FSF is a shame.
Long live KDE!
Long Live Freedom!
