When I talk about Free Software, I usually finish up by concluding the
many projects out there form the "human technological
property/heritage", just like the many monuments, ancient scripts and
other cultural elements that form the human history and heritage. Those
"bodies of code" will remain available "forever" (whatever that means)
and will continue to capture human thoughts and ideas expressed in code
for everyone to read and learn.

Perhaps we could have a slogan that reflects that idea? Something like:

"Join Fedora and help shape and preserve the human technological
heritage."

Or maybe that gets a bit over the top, heheheh. :)

Not sure. The real heritage here is not whatever broken or outdated
software. The real heritage is the *process* and the *spirit* that guide
Free Software and Open Source.

Preserving (and fighting and defending) the Freedom to tinker and the
Freedom to talk about it is the real heritage. IMHO.
