Good thought. Let me offer my own 0.02$ -- how about "tochna kovelet"
(to differentiate from "tochna hofshit", which is better IMHO then
"tochna ptukha" -- see GNU site).

If it does go on the IGLU site, I'd like to reiterate my reservation about
putting a small note that these are only the author's opinions -- I, for
one, would not like to be associate with the phrase "if you decide
to buy an expensive OS...or worse, copy it illegally" (let me suggest --
"if you decide copying a software from a friend who shares it with you
or worse, paying money to a software hoarder [Oger Tokhna] for it")

If we make sharing sound like a virtue, people will realize being made
criminals when they do it is immoral and rebel. Let us try adopting
the views of the non-free world, especially while we struggle with it
for the hearts and minds of the masses.
