You can have anything you want, my Deutchlander friend.  Unfortunately for
you, that's orthogonal to the question of whether an organization is
obligated to give you whatever you want.

Apparently an offensive limerick, and therefore by some people's warped
estimation if Cygwin doesn't covertly force it upon its users, Cygwin is
"censoring" and "banning" "free speech", which will result in the rise of a
Fourth Reich, and government of the people, by the people, for the people
shall perish from the earth.
