The guy who worked behind first to bring in RMS's ideas to business world was
actually Bruce Perens. He disassociated with OSI as there was too much Tim
O'Reilly influence. He's still a fan of RMS, and I like that guy a LOT.
He got overshadowed by issues created by others, and as media was focused on
these "controversy-creating" people.
