Free Software Foundation Forks Linux

The vastspy.NET reports that the Free Software Foundation
has decided to fork Linux.  [Editor's Note: What kind of
wierd name is Free Software Foundation? I guess they're
calling themselves Free just because nobody has managed to 
lock them up for their crimes against the SSSCA and other
important laws so far! We can't wait to call them the
Imprisoned Software Foundation.]

"I'm seriously fed up with people calling the GNU/Linux
operating system Linux," stated Richard "Marxist" Stallman.
"It's time to put an end to it."

Shortly after, the Free Software Foundation presented the 
initial version of their new GIL (GIL Is Linux) kernel, 
dubbed GIL 2.4.18.

"Plans for GIL are straightforward: keep track of Linux
releases and re-release them the same day. We don't plan to
make any GIL specific changes except to include a rant
advocating free software at the top of each header source
file."

Marc Ono and Paul Oly from Microsoft's Linux watch
department confirmed  the news. "We always knew it would
happen. Because of its weird licensing,  Linux will always
be forked, causing a lot of duplicated work, and  therefore
it will never be stable.  A lot of people will be fired for
choosing Linux."

ReviewXP (an independant software review company, 100% owned
by Microsoft) issued an advisory recommending users not to
upgrade to GIL. "While we appreciate and support the notion
of moving away from Linux, moving from Linux to GIL is not
recommendable. Users trying to upgrade  their Linux systems
should look at Windows XP."
