  • What is up with some free software providers?! They say "Here's something free! Oh wait, I changed my mind."
    While not exactly bait-and-switch, this is something which has been causing the community continual grief, and therefore we decided to honour a few of the projects that have decided to go non-free. After all.. having gone non-free, no one is going to remember them in the end.
    This song is dedicated to a few worthy groups who have made this Free-to-Non-Free transition with their offerings in the last few years:
    David Dawes worked for years with a team of developers to make a free X11 distribution for us to use, called XFree86, 98% of which was based on entirely free code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that we must give him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or stop using it. Within about 4 months every project had told him to get stuffed, and the community has created a replacement effort. Now his team cannot even keep their web pages up to date...
    OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a packet filter, and it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed that we chose. But a few years later he told us that we were not free to make changes to the code. So we deleted ipf, and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
    The Apache group started from the humble beginnings of just being 'a patchy' set of changes to a completely free web server of dubious quality. But the years have changed them, and what they supply is now quite non-free... released under a license so entangled in legalese that we have absolutely no doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom.
    So here's a goodbye to those three groups, and a warning to any others who will follow them: Make your stuff non-free, and something else will replace it.

    I can't believe that nobody commented here. I was looking up to making such videos of OpenBSD songs and uploading them, some time ago. This one is my favourite so far. ;)
