[BadVista Advocate] gnu/linux

[paolo del bene]

my name is paolo del bene, for all the people known as pdb, i use
gnu/linux from
2002, i am happy to use it, i have not any restriction that not free
software has.
the free software give me many possibilities which i could not have
with not free software. for example i have no money to give to bill
gates and others, but the question is not only money, but the freedom
to use the software as any person want. the freeom to copy, make
changes, to modify, to distribute any person, organization, to sell to
create manuals, guides under the terms of gnu free documentation
license, but the more important think is to be part of a community of
hackers interested to create softwares and any other think to give
people the freedom. when we think to the software we must think to the
developers which 90% of times they work gratis or they receive few
contributes. i am not interested to create a second microsoft, but to
give anyone the right for their job. receives contributes is a way to
give to the developers the possibility to continue to mantain opened
the job, to mantain dsl, harware and to the end is right to be paid
the right for the job, but if i want to give my job for free and
gratis any have the possibility to use it and there is not any other
license that give you the freedom to do this, so possibly use the gnu
general public license gnu gpl.

happy hacking
