&ldquo;filksong&rdquo; started as a typo for &ldquo;folksong&rdquo;, and the term was adopted in science fiction fandom to refer to the practice of singing songs that relate to science fiction topics or other any other topic that was considered interesting or funny. Some of the people who sing these songs also write some. Many of these songs put new words to existing tunes, and such a song is called a &ldquo;filk&rdquo; of the original song. Thus, the free software song is a filk of Sadi Moma.
