In-Reply-To: <8762o43m37.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (message from David Kastrup on Fri, 17 Jun 2011 10:21:00 +0200)

    > If what you mean is, "Give me software freedom, or give me death!",

    "or I will create it myself." is the actual credo of the free software
    movement.  "or something else." that of the open source movement since
    they focus on secondary concerns.

Well said!
