“Software is supposed to be about

ideas, knowledge, and wisdom on

anything computing. Like all sciences

and and all branches of art...

Software should have been easily-

accessible to everyone which did not

really happen. Now that more

people are aware about this, I guess

it's reason enough we celebrate,

… that we pay homage to how

knowledge should be transferred:

Freely. ”- Jopes via Plurk
