"I've spent three years banging on this issue. We hold the key of Freedom for tens of millions of people and that freedom is Linux. I've done everything I can think of to raise awareness within those who use Linux. I've stood on street corners and handed out disks. I've infiltrated businesses in order to migrate them, I've even went into Senior Retirement Centers and turned sweet old ladies into music pirates. I've documented it all, and not only documented it, I've been specific about how others can do it. Most of this has been met with yawns or STFU comments on my blog. No, the majority of the "Linux Community" could give a shit less about the freedom of others, at least in my experience."
