While I thought your response was sharp, I believe it was perfectly 
appropriate and clearly communicated things that the Apple 
Sales-Marketing teams are grappling with right now; they are obviously 
very green with Open Source.

I would also throw out that it may be in their best interest for them 
to attend some NYCBUG meetings first, so they can begin to listen and 
understand what's going on, to gain some contextual understanding in 
order to be able to formulate a meaningful exchange in the future...(?)
