Open Source has hat in hand.

"I've always been of the opinion that I'd rather not do business with someone stupid enough to be judging me by my looks rather than my abilities."

Well, see that's all fine and good. However what you're forgetting is that it's open source that's coming to the table hat in hand. Not the other way around. So if open source want's to be accepted, then it's going to have to bend a little. Now of course open source could take the attitude you just did, and let the chips fall were it may. But then open source may not achieve all of RMS goals (if any) if it does that. So which will it be? Bend a little, or take your ball and go home?
