テレビを見ていて、We are the Worldを歌っている歌手たちのシーンがあり、思い出した。
2004年3月、ハノイの会議で公開（実演）した次の替え歌。ファイルとしてはスライド(.sxi)でできている。これあとで、中国だったかで引用されていた。ここに残しておこう。
===Slide 1===
This song is entirely
For Open Source
===Slide 2===
We are the World
Here comes a time, when we make a system-call,
when the industries must come togather as one.
All the source codes are waiting,
it’s time to lend our hands,
To Open Source,
What is all we need,
===Slide 3===
We are the world
We cannot go on,
buying binary codes by codes,
and using the outcome as fool,
As GPL tells us,
All the sources are free,
to tailor,
That is all we need!
===Slide 4===
We are the World
We are the World,
We are the children,
We are the one who make better codes,
so let’s start hacking,
Download the source codes,
and make to install it,
Then, you are a part of Open Source Community
===Slide 5===
Yes, this song is GPLed,
You may freely use, re-distribute, and modify.
It’s free

I suddenly got the idea to write this during the 3rd Asia OSS Roundtable in Hanoi. The basic idea was from a SLUG meeting in the late 80s. Though I wrote every lines, a few lines might be from my old memory of the days. I believe it’s fair.
