The Free Software Song is a filk song by Richard M. Stallman about free software. The song is set to the melody of the Bulgarian "Sadi Moma".
A version of this song is also performed by a band (the GNU/Stallmans) during the credits of the documentary Revolution OS. In 1998, Matt Loper recorded a techno version of the song.[1] Jono Bacon also recorded a heavy metal version of the song,[2] and the band Fenster recorded a rhythmic version.[3] In addition, there is a Spanish pop punk version recorded by ALEC,[4][5] and a Rick Astley mashup, "Never Gonna Give GNU Up".[6]
A version is used in the free software karaoke video game Sinatra.[7]
Lyrics
Script error: No such module "Listen".
- Join us now and share the software;
- You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
- Join us now and share the software;
- You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
- Hoarders can get piles of money,
- That is true, hackers, that is true.
- But they cannot help their neighbors;
- That's not good, hackers, that's not good.
- When we have enough free software
- At our call, hackers, at our call,
- We'll kick out those dirty licenses
- Ever more, hackers, ever more.
- Join us now and share the software;
- You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
- Join us now and share the software;
- You'll be free, hackers, you'll be free.
