Regarding the comment on Membership costs, etc.,

You don't BUY a seat on the board of OSF.  Being a sponsor
(donating Millions of dollars US) to the OSF assures you a board seat.
Any other member can be elected to the board.  And each Board Member has the
same powers, privileges, etc (key to the exec. washroom, presumably, among
other things).  

Didn't mean to interrupt this interesting discussion, but I didn't want that
to slip by.
