I love this.
Well did you hear, there’s a natural order. Those most deserving will end up with the most. That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top, Well I say: Shit floats. If you thought things had changed, Friend you’d better think again, Bluntly put in the fewest of words, Cunts are still running the world, Cunts are still running the world.Now the working classes are obsolete,
They are surplus to societies needs,
So let ‘em all kill each other,
And get it made overseas.
That’s the word don’t you know,
From the guys thats running the show,
Lets be perfectly clear boys and girls,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.Oh feed your children on Cray fish and Lobster tails,
Find a school near the top of the league,
In theory I respect your right to exist,
I will kill ya if you move in next to me,
Ah it stinks, it sucks, it’s anthropologically unjust,
But the takings are up by a third, Oh So
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.Your free market is perfectly natural,
Or do you think that I’m some kind of dummy,
It’s the ideal way to order the world,
Fuck the morals, does it make any money?
And if you don’t like it? Then leave.
Or use your right to protest on the street,
Yeah, use your rights but don’t imagine that it’s heard, Oh no no,
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.
"Free Culture". Or: people with salaried day jobs telling me I shouldn't have the right to own and control my ideas and creative property and have it handed down in any way I fucking well see fit. You go and make a living solely off your own imagination for ten years and then come back and talk to me, shiteyes. Or go and design your own house and build it with your own money and sweat -- and I'm going to come and fucking live in it. How's that? Get away from me.

At the time CDDL was being introduced, I wanted to write an illustrated version of it. Merely because hardly anyone would read the full license text. Even if they did, I doubt 9 out 10 would have understood it completely. A recent CDDL/GPL misunderstanding that made news and started flame wars, prompted me to revisit an old illustration.
With the choice of Creative Commons licenses Creative Commons users decide usually for the more restrictive variants. Free software representatives criticized OS 4 in Berlin Creative Common initiator Larry Lessig with the Wizard OF for the fact that thereby the original idea of a larger movement for free culture becomes counter cross-hatched. “If I the FreeCulture movement regard, am really anxious I,” said FOSS Aktivist Benjamin Mako Hill of WITH Media lab. , Thus which “liberty” actually my, is missing to Hill, a general definition of it. “Creative Commons did not bring a movement toward “works any longer not protected”,” to criticized Hill. Today less programmer would generally program free software than still in the 90s-years. The “municipality” must inform itself therefore in principle over it where one wants.
