<http://brolin.be/audio/oh_teh_gno_leet.wav> <http://brolin.be/audio/oh_teh_gno.wav> <http://brolin.be/audio/noes1.wav> I made the first 2 in 2004, when I was 17. :D The 3rd is from some “Oh Noes!” Web site. Maybe <http://ohnoes.com/>, but that is now a spam portal. Apparently, “women masterbating” (sic) is somehow related to “Oh Noes!”. :) Anyway, on a more serious note (pun intended!), non-DFSG-freeness does not matter to me: 1. I prefer Windows Vista/7 + Ubuntu over plain Debian. 2. I do not need freedoms I never use anyway. I use a lot of both Free + proprietary software, but, for my use, it would not matter if a lot of the Free software I use was proprietary because I do not use the Freedoms granted to me: I simply use the official builds or my distro’s builds as-is. Granted, open source is useful for building software for non-x86 Linux, such as, of course, ARM, as used on the FreeRunner and countless other devices. My laptop is x86, though, so I can run proprietary x86-only software on it instead of on my FreeRunner. 3. I like having unique ring + alert tones. Consequently, lack of inclusion in a popular distro can actually be considered beneficial! :) > Since I > wanted to make sure that there is at least a possibility to > incorporate my hacks back to other users I spent a long time looking > for a free ringtone. If you mean you want your hacks included in distro repositories, that seems unnecessary because I think most Openmoko users know how to manually install stuff not packaged by their distro! ;) > I eventually found some existing ones but did not > like them much so just gave up and created a simple one myself.
