I have never said anything against the COMPASS execs
I have stated my philosophy, and that I do not agree with the Open
Source one, and that I refuse to stand under an Open Source banner.
I have spoken as an individual, and there has been no wrong signal
whatsoever.
The COMPASS execs may have whatever philosophy they might wish to have.

i dunno abt linus, but rms might be even more approachable
send him a mail on a topic that is relevant, and he is sure to answer
back within the next 24 hrs (unless he is travelling or anything like
that:)
in fact, i have around 30 *personal* mails from rms lying around in my
mailbox - so you get an idea abt how much approachable he is
if you really want to enliven your audience, from Linus and RMS, i would
very very very humbly choose rms
