Not only that, but with the free kitten project you get the opportunity to breed the kitten, possibly improving its descendants and the lives of others by giving them also the gift of a kitten.

The kitten thing

I find it interesting that the proprietary software industry has tipped its hand - they understand, and are very happy with, the fact that their software is a burden to their customers.

Our best counter to the kitten argument is that the whole point is for the software to be a boon, and we allow the user to do whatever they have to to make their software a boon, even if they wish to fire us as their vet, groomer, trainer, and breeder.
