It's Free

11:39 AM EDT 		I think more people need to understand the Free vs. free argument, and they need to be told this from a friendlier perspective, one that is not so didactic...which, unfortunately, most of us find ourselves doing at some point quite easily. The recent GNU birthday video with Stephen Fry is a great example, a very friendly individual comparing Free Software to having a friend fix the plumbing in your house. MS and Co. don't allow that sort of freedom. I couldn't imagine buying a car that I wasn't allowed to work on myself, or to get a friend or different vendor to work on. That said, I still take it back to the Toyota shop for all service, etc...but that's choice at work, not mere enforced circumstance.

I'm gonna have to get out there and laugh derisively at it right now!
