Thanks to Late Stage Capitalism™, I am unlikely to have the means for a -lengthy and drawn out court battle, you could easily win that through -attrition. I mean as I write this note I’m effectively homeless and bed -surfing. Literally the last thing I care about right now is someone using -my shit. +free software as envisioned by rms and gnu has failed to defend the freedom of users. +open source software is a tool for corporate cooption, control, and profit. -3.
