I enjoyed the interview. But I could have done without the silly free software vs open source bit. That schism has always been quite artificial. Some people emphasize that it is a better way to develop software. Some people emphasize that the freedom is the important thing. I would say that it is a better way to develop software, in large part, due to the freedom... and that it being a better way to develop software has been a largely responsible for the success which free software has enjoyed.
free software and open source software are essentially the same thing. All the hair-splitting about how they are really different is inane.
