This is really a very *good* gesture from your side. A pucca show of
volunteerism and that too of offering *one's own house* for RMS' stay. I
am really moved....a gesture worth emulating by all of us here. :)
Thanks very much indeed.

RMS' itinerary is looked after by himself, so you should mail RMS at
<rms@gnu.org> and get everything fixed up real fast.

RMS said the other day that Red Hat is also helping the FS movement by
hiring coders/developers. Debian is better in that it distinguishes
software licenses and keeps it ordered separately so that the
user/developer knows what exactly he/she is doing and how best he/she
can deploy stuff. Debian gives the user/developer the choice to do
things better and in a *free* sort of way. So it is not that important
you remove the Red Hat logo....
It is more important to help us better the cause in whatever little ways
you can. This can be done by an influential person like you by
persuading your kernel group to change tack by calling things properly
thereby giving credit where it is due. ;-)
