The Free Software Song

[@burlak3182]

I would enjoy this video more if it would be CC license instead of `Standard KZbin License`

[@johnwaffleson]

And it requires proprietary codecs!

[@mr.beenenhater294]

John Tate They could easily solve it by releasing it in 4K.

[@Lunanoko]

This song makes me cry happy tears. Free software and the whole free software movement are beautiful things!

[@murderface3r]

im doing my thing! soon the entire Brazil will run on Free Software

[@pmcgovern]

The members of the GNU/Stallmans all worked at VA Linux Systems (now VA Software) when this was filmed. The recording is a more lively version of the original version written and performed by Richard Stallman: www.gnu.org/music/free-software-song.au

I'm thinking this video is about to make a major comeback.

[@skia5635]

It did

[@WillGriffith7654]

Here's 2 quotes you might like: "Software is like sex; its much better when its free" "Windows is easier than Linux, in the same way that crapping your pants is easier than going to the bathroom"

[@Δημήτρης-θ7θ]

Will Griffith "Software is like food. It's better when it's not dumpster-dived or donated but instead paid for" "Windows is easier in the sense it allows you to use the computer as a means to an end"

stallman has plagiarized the bulgarian song sadimoma en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadi_Moma

[@MrEdtoox]

​@@DrAlejandroM He quotes the source on the page about The Free Software Song, at the GNU OS site, and this song belongs to public domain, so you can use it as you please, therefore, what he did is far from being considered plagiarism.

[@thejonte]

absolutely proprietary youtube license

LoooooooooooooL Richards stallman siniging this is pure GPL.....this is like MS EULA mixed with LGPL lol

I know, but I meant this particular video of the cover.

@mike3214545 In an interview for reddit he mentioned that gnu/linux would imply to someone, who haven't heard of linux before, that GNU made Linux as Hurd is called GNU/Hurd

the really incredible its that this is the "GNU Song" for the "Open Software" movie... thats kinda ironic

[@idratherbedrumming]

Nice rendition, but what I wanna know is why no one ever plays it in 7/4 the way Stallman originally intended

[@MirkoDiTV]

ma salve

[@silvernode]

Although I must admit the song gets a bit stale after listening to it a minute. It will one day become a reminder in history when the free software movement changed the way we think of software. And will mean a lot more after Richard Stallman has passed away.

[@skia5635]

Fortunately Stallman is still with us.

[@silvernode]

Wow such a great example.

[@ferneyp]

Gran versión.

+lonerider92 Hey, can you elaborate more?

[@lonerider92]

He's childish, ever see his lectures when some one proves him wrong? He throws a tempter tantrum and says they are wrong because they don't understand it. He rides the coat tails of Linux Torvalds and says Linux was made for GNU when in reality GNU was made for Linux. Lets not forget his famous mic smash either.

but what influence does he have currently on Linux development?

@@Δημήτρης-θ7θ It's obviously simplification. Linux is released under GPL, which gives some freedoms to user ≈ Linux is free. It comes down to what a person can do with something (e.g. operating system). So... what's your point?
