last-rights
Explanation
This comic takes the concept of open-source software advocacy to its absurd extreme by applying open-source licensing principles to a person's own corpse.
In the first panel, a bearded man (who visually resembles a stereotypical open-source software advocate, possibly evoking figures like Richard Stallman) passionately declares: "Open source is EVERYTHING. I will never stop pushing for it, even after I die!" A woman holding a drink asks, "Wait what? What does that mean?"
The comic then cuts to "Later..." and shows a gravestone reading: "HERE LIES STEVE. Contents of grave may be modified and used commercially without attribution." This is a direct parody of permissive open-source software licenses (like the MIT License or public domain dedication), which allow anyone to use, modify, and distribute the licensed work without restriction or attribution requirements.
The title "last-rights" is itself a double pun. "Last rites" refers to the religious ceremonies performed for a dying person, but "last rights" with a different spelling refers to the intellectual property rights that Steve has waived even in death -- his final act of rights management.
The humor comes from the collision between the idealism of the open-source movement and the visceral reality of applying those principles to a human body. In software, "contents may be modified and used commercially" is a generous and philosophically principled stance about knowledge sharing. Applied to a corpse, it becomes deeply unsettling -- it implies that anyone can dig up Steve's remains, alter them, and use them for commercial purposes without even crediting him. The comic takes the open-source philosophy at its word ("information wants to be free," "no restrictions on use") and asks what happens when you extend it beyond code to physical matter.
There is also a gentle satire of the evangelical fervor of some open-source advocates, who are sometimes parodied as wanting to apply free-software principles to every domain of life. Steve's promise to keep pushing "even after I die" is fulfilled in the most literal and grotesque way possible.
