Hey everyone,
It occurred to me that there isn't really a good one-word way of
describing someone who rejects proprietary software on ethical grounds.
For example there's "vegan" for people who don't consume animal
products on ethical grounds. I know there is a derogatory term that
exists, and another which is specific to someone who agrees with RMS,
but there is no general positive term that we could all use. Even a
short phrase seems difficult because you could say "free software
advocate" but you can reject proprietary software on ethical grounds
without doing any advocacy.
I think this would be good so people can self-identify, and it might
help bring the idea into common thought.
If anyone has any ideas, please share.
Kind Regards,
Roberto Beltran
