Your point about options as a real shareholder cost is well taken. Charlie Munger spent a fair amount of time at the Wesco meeting talking about this - particularly with SW Companies.

When I do the arithmetic on ADSK, it looks like they award 5% of the stock per year in options. It appears that most of the management shares are priced in the $40's. Previous years show much of the overhang from $27, with ~1/2 above $40. This type of compensation offers the absurdity of a senior partner of Wilson, Sonsini on the board who is shown owning 44,000 shares of which all but 1000 are options.
