Free Software principles on back of business cards?

I've come across various business cards where people put some message on
the back about their product or their vision

Has anybody tried this with free software principles?

One issue is how to condense the text to fit within the available space
- the full DFSG text may not fit but maybe the 4 principles here (just
the text in bigger letters):
http://fsfe.org/about/basics/freesoftware.en.html

An alternative may be to develop a question that people can print and
underneath put a link to FSFE, e.g.

If the software and apps you rely on are
not fully open and transparent with their code,
are they serving your best interests or somebody else's?

The back of my business card is a recipe, because my mission is
spreading information. It has .data, .text and .bss, in that order.

And it has a bug, because you should never execute blindly your code.
I know for sure it has been run at least once, so the thing worked
(unfortunately the guy was already in FS; fortunately he worked around
the bug).
