* The FSF supports itself from tape distribution fees and from

described in the GNU's Bulletin.
Or you can get it via anonymous UUCP. Write osu-cis!uucp (same as
uucp@cis.ohio-state.edu) for instructions. Many folks find this to be
a quicker, more convenient way to get up-to-date GNU software.
However, if you use osu-cis or any of the other UUCP redistribution
points, you should still consider sending a tape fee to FSF.
Everybody wins: you get software quicker, and FSF saves the labor of
spinning a tape.
