Today is Software Freedom Day

Yes, that’s right; today lovers of free software all over the world celebrate Software Freedom Day, a global outbreak of gratitude for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Its goal is to educate the worldwide public about the benefits of using high quality FOSS in education, in government, at home and in business; in short, everywhere!

We haven’t organised anything specific here in Bristol, unlike our friends in the Herefordshire LUG (news passim), so as a small contribution, here’s a cover version by The Pink Stainless Tail of Richard Stallman‘s Free Software Song. We hope you enjoy it. 😀
