I think you could find more like-minded people in the FSF than in the OSI for this topic.

It would be very comfortable for me to work with the general FSF membership, because I appreciate the need for Freedom, as they do. If you think I can be prickly, you haven't worked with the FSF leadership. I hold Richard very highly, but he is the world's most difficult person to be friends with.

But we're not really discussing the mission I have set myself, which is to be a bridge from people who fully appreciate the Free Software movement to people who don't. Participating in "Open Source" lets me get to them. And eventually a lot of them realize that Stallman was right, but they certainly don't start out that way.
