Free software projects are
international projects. In some countries deviation from some superficial norm/view is punishable by
death. Whose standards should be emulated and
why?
ABSOLUTISM is nice
Seems nice on the surface
Death threats excluded
Or libel at the preface
Some would argue that an insult is a crime
Some would reserve that privilege for a dime
People died for free speech over the centuries
How quickly we've abandoned these memories
Freedom the criticise is the right to challenge
It only ever works if adversaries we can manage
