One week ago (but I just noticed), FFII published this press release about McCreevy trying to legalise Software Patents. I haven’t had time to read the whole thing, but this is just amazing. I mean, doesn’t Mr. McCreevy get fucking bored, if nothing else?

We don’t want your filthy software patents. We have said so many many times. Now go and [censored] yourself, find something useful to do for Europe.

I just read in Aaron Seigo’s blog a very nice message from a user that proves that free software is making a difference in many areas, even in some that we don’t usually think about. Some quote:

I cant tell you how much I appreciate the work you all have done. Its a work of art. If I could thank each and every one of you I would.

You have given her the world to learn and explore.

So if you get frustrated or tired in your work for Open Source/Free Software, just remember that somewhere in Missouri there is a 14 year-old girl named Hope, an A-student who runs on the track team, who is now your biggest fan and one of the newest users of Linux/Ubuntu.

Although I haven’t really participated in KDE or Ubuntu (not directly anyway), I too feel proud of what we, as a community, have created. Also, like that person, I feel very thankful for everything I have learned and got from the free software community.

Cheers guys, you all rock!
