[hackerspaces] Software Licensing

[Seth Hardy]

funny, i haven't heard a single OMG WE'RE BECOMING CORPORATIONS EVERYONE 
ABANDON SHIP WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WEAR SUITS despite all the talk 
about 501(c)3 status... which implies that your space is... wait for 
it... a corporation.

as an aside, one of the hacklab.to members is an evangelist for 
microsoft. he works with open source projects, and is an all-around good 
guy; if he does in fact worship satan and eat babies, we haven't caught 
on yet. 

it might have been funny to refer to "M$" back when we were 15, but it 
isn't any more. if you did a minimal amount of research, you'd discover 
that there's a lot of good people doing awesome things there. if you 
don't like their software, if you feel that you get more than what you 
pay for with linux (i'm sorry; gnu/linux), then by all means: don't use 
proprietary software!

for people who supposedly want to learn and keep open minds and work on 
cool things, many "hackers" sure are quick to turn into ignorant 
neckbearded assholes. what's next on the underground agenda, shouting 
"FUCK THE PO-LEASE" and throwing molotovs at your local software 
retailer? because that's totally in line with the hackerspaces vision, 
man. 

ALL HACKERSPACES ARE POLITICAL VEHICLES, SMASH THE STATE!
