These are great! I had a couple of thoughts below. My main question was
whether we should make the question about women optional. Not all women
want to talk about the issue just because they are one :)

How about this:

The Zareason website prominently says that you showcase GNU/Linux as the
superior operating system. What are your thoughts about the ethics of free
operating systems and providing hardware that just works out of the box
for customers?

How about:

We at GNOME are committed to making our community and as much of the free
software world as inclusive as possible to women - we devote a lot of our
time to running and improving our Outreach Program for Women. As a 
successful woman in free software, have you found any challenges connected
to your gender? Do you have any ideas for how we can encourage more women
to join free and open source software generally?
