Buttons
How to order buttons
FSF buttons are available by at least five methods:
- Order one from the Free
Software Foundation (easy).
- Buy one on the secondhand market (waste time looking).
- Steal one off a friend's chest (dangerous).
- Photocopy a friend's button (or download the source code and print the
text of the button) and use your buttonmaker to make your own button (difficult
if you don't have the proper equipment).
- Create one from thin air using your psychic powers (that's cheating!)
