I knew they wouldn’t chase down stuff like Linux.

Maybe they will someday, if the year of, on the desktop, truly arrives for normal people.

So the situation [there] is:

  • free software's principles are preserved for users of free software based operating system,

  • but if you use a proprietary operating system, you have to report your age to the pedovores... ? ? ? !

How long before we cease feeding the dragon tyrant?
