And because in the morning i am always hard war thinking, goes
understand why (my reptilian brain which during the night alert me on
the global warming, the swine flu or other !)
- Ask all coders arround the world to pass there licence under a
free one for all the codes they make (past, present, future). (asking
for something nether hurt any one)
- Ask all coders, student, computers addict ... to put under
free licence all they make (past, present, future)
- Informe, propose, DEMONSTRATE in all school, collège,
university, faculty ... the power of the free of the freedom.
- A real online free shool for all sort of level of pratice
- Be one not divided as they want you to be.
I'll try to explain this last point of view. If you're coming out from
linux, and you want a real free system (but working system) you looking
for THE DOOR OF THE TEMPLE.
The trouble is that there a lot of good and really very good temple and
many different way of thinking to explain the same thing.
At this time, i am not able to drink, all the sea.
