I love Free Software¶

I liked the following graphic from the Artwork page of the I love Free Software Day campaign:

But I wanted to play with the idea. Since I didn’t find anywhere the plain text version of it, I used my fingers to type that sequence of 0 and 1 into a text file ilovefs-ascii.txt:

Then I wrote a little script ilovefs-ascii.py:

s = open('ilovefs-ascii.txt', 'rt').read()

s2 = ''
for c in s:
    if c == '0':
        s2 += '<b><font color="blue">0</font></b>'
    elif c == '\n':
        s2 += "<br>\n"
    else:
        s2 += c

s2 = '<html><font face="Courier">\n%s\n</font></html>' % s2

open('ilovefs-ascii.html', 'wt').write(s2)

And now I have it in colored:
