 Things change, times change, people change.

The one thing that does not change:
 Most people like freedom because you can
participate  in changing things and/or observe the change.
 The Linux Kernel and Open Source Code are not
standing still and never will because machine code
is evolving like human speech languages.
 It's FREEDOM at its best.
