Software Wars
Sat, 1 Feb 2025
It is a period of digital domination.
The powerful Proprietary Empire,
armed with proprietary software and licensing,
has restricted user freedom and control.
But a lone programmer, Richard Stallman,
has a vision of a different future -
a future where software is free,
shared, with freedom for all.
Heeding this vision, Stallman has
forged the GNU operating system
and its revolutionary license, the GPL,
tools that could break the chains of
proprietary control.
Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents,
Stallman races home aboard his starship,
custodian of the tools that can save
his people and restore freedom
to the galaxy....
(With apologies to George Lucas.)
