- A tribute to Open Source:
- This Code Is Your Code
- (v1.01)
-
- (To the tune of This Land Is Your Land by Woody Guthrie)
- Lyrics by: Greg A. Tapolow
- Written at MacHack 15 (23 June 02000, #2)
-
- Chorus:
- This Code is your code, this code is my code
- From project format, to the new rev concept
- from the real time update, to the diff checked patches
- This code was made by you and me
-
- As I was coding a package in shrinkwrap
- I saw above me a mindless market
- I saw below me an open market
- This code was made by you and me
-
- Chorus
-
- I went to mac hack and I hear a keynote
- A man was talking about a business model
- And all around me the net was calling
- This code was made by you and me
-
- Chorus
-
- You know those secrets; quell competition
- You gotta share it; try inovation
- And if you do that; MS might crumble
- This code was made by you and me
-
- Chorus
-
- Free code beats free apps; Go buy a help desk
- Your business model; will need reworking
- You'll rack in big bucks; and have no product
- But This code was made by you and me
-
- Chorus
-
- As I was coding - I saw a bug there
- And that bug caused - no execution
- but after patching - I found fulfillment
- Now this shop is owned by you and me.
-
- Chorus
-
- In the depths of the archive - in the reams of papers
- near the stack of text books - I see my caffiene
- And some are coders - and some are users
- and tech calls are pay for you and me.
-
- Chorus
-
- Last week we're public - next week we're talking
- Keynotes and book tours; We're world reknown now
- And all in thanks to; one keynote speaker
- It comes round; it came to you and me
-
