Subject: Lyr Add: THE FREE SOFTWARE SONG
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" ?

We'll throw out those dirty licenses
Ever more, hackers, ever more.

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