- (Genesis 6:3), "may you live to 120"
- Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, and received the Torah of Judaism from God on Mount Sinai.
- Torah == GPL3 draft
- Moses mum: rather than deliver him to be killed she set him adrift on the Nile river in a small craft of bulrushes coated in pitch

GPL3 draft commandments
- You shall have no other licenses beside this. Except perhaps LGPL. Not often though please.
- Honor your code's father and mother
- You shall not commit false patches
- You shall not steal, unless somebody signs it off so you can blame them later
- You shall not bear non boolean witness
- You shall not covet your neighbor's coding style.
- You shall bring pizza up when you're done whining
- You shall not believe zdnet. They know nothing of my drafts
Real Ten commandments
- 1. "I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt..." - This commandment is to believe in the existence of God.
- 2. "You shall have no other gods besides Me...Do not make a sculpted image or any likeness of what is in the heavens above..."
- 3. "You shalt not swear falsely by the name of the Lord..." - This commandment is to never take the name of God in a vain oath. In Exodus, the text reads "in a vain oath" while in Deuteronomy it reads "in a false oath"
- 4. "Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy" (the version in Deuteronomy mentions "Keep" rather than "Remember")
- 5. "Honor your father and your mother..." - This commandment is a development when compared to other laws of the Ancient East (for example, the Code of Hammurabi) that do not call for equal respect of the father and the mother.
- 6. "You shall not murder" - The Hebrew Bible makes a distinction between murdering and killing (see Jewish interpretation below).
- 7. "You shall not commit adultery"
- 8. "You shall not steal" (sometimes interpreted as kidnapping, since there are other injunctions against stealing property in the Bible).
- 9. "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor"
- 10. "You shall not covet your neighbor's house..." (in Exodus, the text reads "... neighbor's house, ... neighbor's wife, nor his manservant..." etc. while in Deuteronomy, "thy neighbor's wife, ... thy neighbor's house, his field" etc.)

He dropped these two tablets of stone with us eric: it's probably nothing. you can leave the tablets with me. linus: this is some serious shit Eric, Eben was wrapped in smoke. eric: i didn't hear the detectors go off. don't worry. linus: There were trumpets and thunder ffs. eric: that was my own trumpet. I was blowing it. just hand me the tablets. I'll sort it out. linus: He did say that you'd want them. eric: That Eben Moglen is a whiney little bitch. scene of outside the house, police cars and helicopters police: esr we have you surrounded. you're wanted for annoying people on the internet. eric: but that's my real name! police: tell it to the judge. if you get one.
Script Idea 2
eric: and then he says "I am Richard Stallman who brought you out of the world or proprietary software" and gave Eblen the stone tablets with the draft on linus: hmmmm linus: and he was wrapped in smoke you say. and there were trumpets and thunder. eric: and his beard was ablaze linus: right. ablaze. i see. linus: and this is how version 2 was written too you say? eric: Absolutely. Though it was 1989, so instead of trumpets we had vanilla ice.

Narrator: And unto the community, a draft was born. And it was named GPL3. Graphic: Richard giving birth - Richard's head on a birthing woman's body? Narrator: Wise men came from near and far, joyeous that it would bring peace and joy to the world. Graphic: Positive quotes from geek celebs/news outlets, on floating heads/logos? Narrator: But not everyone was so willing to hear the good news. Graphic: Eric building a crucifix Eric: It's not necessary and by God, it better watch it's step.
