From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
Live Free Or Die! imp.   1. The state motto of New Hampshire,    which appears on that state's automobile license plates.   2. A    slogan associated with Unix in the romantic days when Unix    aficionados saw themselves as a tiny, beleaguered underground    tilting against the windmills of industry.   The "free" referred    specifically to freedom from the {fascist} design philosophies and    crufty misfeatures common on competing operating systems.   Armando    Stettner, one of the early Unix developers, used to give out fake    license plates bearing this motto under a large Unix, all in New    Hampshire colors of green and white.   These are now valued    collector's items.   In 1994 {DEC} put an inferior imitation of these    in circulation with a red corporate logo added.   Compaq (half of    which was once DEC) has continued the practice.
