The Spirit of Free Software


An apparition of Saint iGNUcius

The Free Software Song

[To the melody of Sadi Moma]

Join us now and share the software;
You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
(Repeat)

Hoarders may get piles of money,
That is true, hackers, that is true.
But they cannot help their neighbors;
That's not good, hackers, that's not good.

When we have enough free software
At our call, hackers, at our call,
We'll throw out those dirty licenses
Ever more, hackers, ever more.

Join us now and share the software;
You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
(Repeat)

Melody of Sadi Moma, a Bulgarian dance tune.
(Dash means previous note continues; there are seven beats per measure.)

D-CB-A- B-CBAG-
