"By creating legal uncertainty for the Internet operators, ACTA will force them to bend under the pressure of entertainment industries. ACTA will compell Internet service providers to filter and remove content and services, turning them into private police and justice auxiliaries. We cannot tolerate that restrictions to fundamental rights and freedoms be imposed by private actors. Such a modification of criminal law by governments themselves, in total opacity, shows how much the people behind ACTA hate democracy."

Fortunately for the rest of us, the FSM is compatible with the GPL.

The GPL allows you to modify the original work. The bible, however, clearly states that it is the word of God and should not be modified. It is therefore not GPL-compatible. The codebase it’s based on is also of dubious origin.

But even if the licensing terms weren’t crap, it’ll never catch on. It’s a buggy beta release that’s been ported to other languages or forked dozens of times because the developers can never agree on a single design. It’s also not very user-friendly: The interface tends to kill people, especially before you patch it to SP1 (New Testament). I’d be surprised if they aren’t bankrupt in a year.

1900 years later…
