GUEST,Okiemockbird 'The Ballad of Dennis Karjala' (14) Lyr Add: THE FREE SOFTWARE SONG 28 Mar 00


Here is another copyright-related song, this one by free software guru Richard Stallman.

For those who don't want to click, I append it below.

Does anyone know the Bulgarian tune that Stallman mentions, "Sadi Moma" ?

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.

You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free. x2

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