We should be happy about the attention. The work of the FSF, GNU People is not in vain! GNU transports values like: Quality, Stability, Reliability!
Now that's not bad, but it should transport only one single value: freedom.
It is infinitely more valuable to use a program that's free than one that's stable and reliable. Stability and reliability are wonderful side-effects of free software, but the main point is that software is free.
I personally don't give a damn on whose CEO thinks that "Open Source" is a great idea. I care about software that I can learn from, software that I can modify: Software that I can put to real use other than point and click on some stupid buttons that some marketroid thought useful.
I care about software that allows ME to let ME use MY computer for WHATEVER purpose I want, and that allows ME to share that with my fellow humans.
Everything else is plainly useful, but not really relevant.
