(As to Eric S. Raymond and his incessant volunteering to speak for all hackers: No comment.)
> When you put the glider emblem on your web page, or wear it on clothing, or display it in some other way, you are visibly associating yourself with the hacker culture. This is not quite the same thing as claiming to be a hacker yourself -- that is a title of honor that generally has to be conferred by others rather than self-assumed. But by using this emblem, you express sympathy with hackers' goals, hackers' values, and the hacker way of living.

No offense to the people who didn't know about it but isn't this kinda old news to the people aware of the Hacker Culture?
Just try imagining RMS without his beard.
