:Share and enjoy!: imp. 1. Commonly found at the end of software
release announcements and {README file}s, this phrase indicates
allegiance to the hacker ethic of free information sharing (see
{hacker ethic, the}, sense 1). 2. The motto of the Sirius
Cybernetics Corporation (the ultimate gaggle of incompetent
{suit}s) in Douglas Adams's "Hitch Hiker's Guide to the
Galaxy". The irony of using this as a cultural recognition signal
appeals to freeware hackers.
