Them Open Sourcers

in poetry •  9 years ago 
About them Open Sourcers,
ain't they codin' warriors.
Writing under licenses,
coded by they lawyers.

Some code on a payroll,
but usually it's free.
BSD to GPL,
they code for all to see.

Them happy slappy Open Sourcers,
they rights shall not be lost.
Keeping libs bug free because
you just can't beat the cost.

How to be an Open Sourcer,
there's no hidden catch.
Find an open project,
'n submit an open patch.

thempoems be good, thempoems be sweet,

Open Sourcers are codin' warriors, indeed.

Did you even write it?

Did you post the exact text anywhere else? Take my poem, for example. I originally wrote it in 2003, and posted it to Slashdot.

I also posted it on my old blog, but it's gone now.
