That's from July 2002. "The Future" predicts:

"Soon in the US it will be illegal to use your computer with non-proprietary software or in ways that the manufacturer did not intent."
"Open Source software will be illegal in the US."
"ISPs will no longer interact with non-authorized systems."

Gigi chimes in with:

"if every single software provider, ISP, web service will only run with your computer if your computer contains ZERO open source free software...Let's see how long you keep your free open-source software on your comp."

Guess I won't have to send those $1000 checks I promised.
