Free!=Open. If it was open, you'd be able to modify the tunes. Either way,
coming from an oddball (don't get me wrong, I watched many Osbournes
episodes and loved it), it's no more advocacy then "Linux" graffiti over
some Vista "Wow" (or "Ow"). But it's free musicians like him, at least in
this case, that keep my playlists full. Who needs labels and DRM? Who need
windows and gates?
