Free Software Foundation: Happy Birthday to GNU!

The GNU project yesterday celebrated the 25th anniversary by releasing “Happy Birthday to GNU,” a short film featuring the English humorist, actor, novelist and filmmaker Stephen Fry.

The Free Software Foundation after “Defective by Design“, the brilliant campaign launched to protect our digital freedoms, did a great move managing to bring Fry on the free software board. He generously donated his time to the cause of free software.

Well done, and happy hacking!

    Nice card. There I was there was resentment here against RMS… :-)

    On the contrary Roy, I am a great fun of Richard. Still I think he should spend his energies talking about what he knows better.

    The business side of free software, or open standards are probably not among his strongest points, though.
