(my 0.02:  this is an excellent selection, and some good
  reading material for today's world... I was almost tempted
  to "cross post" this to rec.arts.books on Usenet...)
In case anyone [has some "free" time today, and]
wants to read the whole essay, it is at:
 http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gpl-american-way.html
(maybe this is overkill, since that comes up as the first hit on a
 Google search for the title;  but)
I just thought it would be nice - and
 convenient - to provide the link here.
