The Free Software Song is a filk song by Richard M. Stallman about free software. The song is set to the melody of the Bulgarian "Sadi Moma".
This song is used by both Stallman's supporters[who?] and critics to support their positions. Jamie Zawinski has used this song as an explanation for why he thinks co-operation with Stallman is impossible.[1]
A version of this song is also performed by a band (the GNU/Stallmans) during the credits of the documentary Revolution OS. In 1998, Matt Loper recorded a techno version of the song.[2] Jono Bacon also recorded a death metal version of the song, and the band Fenster recorded a rhythmic version[3]. In addition, there is a Spanish pop punk version recorded by ALEC.
Lyrics
- Join us now and share the software;
- You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
- x2
- Hoarders can get piles of money,
- That is true, hackers, that is true.
- But they cannot help their neighbors;
- That's not good, hackers, that's not good.
- When we have enough free software
- At our call, hackers, at our call,
- We'll kick out those dirty licenses
- Ever more, hackers, ever more.
- Join us now and share the software;
- You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
- x2
