First of all, A lot of thank you for the organizers. What started as just an opportunity to see a movie, became a really nice event.

As you may notice, it was intended also for non-very-technical audience
(e.g: the "picture" of bits running on screen) and semi-technical people
without familiarity with free/open-source software.
For a film of this scope I think it was pretty good.
BTW: I've seen this film last July at San-Diego. The end was somewhat
modified:
- In the original version the scene with Larry Augutin walking
amazed at Linux-World, had background voice talking about
the stock craze about VA-Linux. However, since the screening
was in July-2001, they added a note to the end about the
NASDAQ crash and what happend to VA-Linux (at that time),
which gave the film some melancholic tone...
- In this version, they have cut some of the talks about the
stock and replaced the note in the end with some short note
about Microsoft "Shared Source" (which started its PR at
about mid-2001 IIRC).
But it did show us who are exactly

Let's start with facts: It's called GNU, he said it, he invented it and
without people like him that are ready to fight a "lost-cause" we would
all be using Windows-XP by now. If you find that "history" hard to
remember, here's a simple trick for you:
% gcc --version
gcc version 3.xx, written by me Richard M. Stallman.
You shall stick with GNU or the knights who say GNIT will
eat your shruberies.
Ok, so I had too much mineral water today :-)
