Free Software Foundation

We love free software. With much thanks to the talented @SachaChua @sachac for illustrating the reasons. See sachachua.com/blog/ for emacs news and more! #FreeSoftware

A comic about "Why I love free software" by Sacha Chua: Free software is like having more gifts that I can even imagine (with image of person reaching for presents). Each first is a building block that I can have fun with (image of blocks). More than that -- each block is a glimpse into someone else'e life (image of same blocks with talking people inside). I can combine things with bubblegum and string to make something that fits me so well (image of blocks combined with gun; then image of glove). [...] at the end it says, "So, bit by bit, we grow. Free software."

@fsf @sachac love this comic! I remember the first time I successfully installed a distribution and I was like - omg! I get ALL THIS and for FREE!? - and that delight pretty much stayed with me. No time limits, no annoying keycodes, no limited functionality, no being nagged about piracy. Every distribution is like a box of chocolates, you don't know what you're going to get, but it's always good.
