A quick one; I have been accused of being a communist for my support of Free and Open-Source Software.  Using Linux is therefore akin to joining the Party and worshipping Marx.  Amusingly, the latest accusation came as a certain group raised over a million dollars between them by following a “free as in ‘Free speech’, not as in ‘free beer’” mindset.

Four indie games (Gish, Lugaru HD, Aquaria and Penumbra) recently went open source, making $1,273,613 for a coalition of developers (not all of whom went open-source) and charities.  In the end, each of these companies made $166,733.37 for their efforts and gave Child’s Play (a charity who give toys and games to children in hospitals) $188,583.92, as well as giving the Electronic Frontier Foundation (a charity who help oppose legislation and other legal threats to information) $183,607.34 just from this one act of going open-source.

I don’t know about you comrade, but I think that looks like a good capitalist venture from here…
