[pp.int.general] Basic income - how does that fit into the pirate ideology?

[Richard Stallman]

        [ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider
        [ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,
        [ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example.

    Like when Microsoft collaborating with the NSA translates
    automagically into sufficient people switching over to Linux on
    their existing machines,

Don't you mean "switching over to GNU/Linux"?  Linux alone
is not a complete system comparable to Windows.
