STICK THIS UP YOUR COPYRIGHT!

On: Linus Corrects Darl on Copyright Law

Once upon a time, in a far away land
the Silly Computer Organisation took a stand
'Alas', they crowed
'You've stolen our code
'We plan all hackers be banned'

Now the hackers were rightfully flounced
until Linus, their leader, pronounced:
'Our GPL has us covered
'Stick your law in the cupboard
'If you think any different you'll be trounced!'

The moral of this poor story, it seems
was quite possibly more due to the means
by which a poor market strategy
(surely not hacker mentality)
can lose a business it's beans.

Rather than write this to sell
the author will use GPL
to further the cause
for tidying the laws
so that such companies can BURN IN HELL!
