Socialists?
You mean the kind of people who would devote massive amounts of their
free time, with no expectation of compensation, to building and
distributing a totally free operating system, purely because they
believe it would be beneficial to society? And who put in place legal
safeguards to ensure that it would protect the rights of its
contributors by remaining forever free, and the rights of its users by
remaining forever modifiable?
Yeah, I hate those guys.
