I use "FLO" as in Free/Libre/Open. I disagree with the argument that
"open" is a bad term in itself, but I agree that it's insufficient. But
"Open Source" and "Open" are everywhere in the world, and we *are*
talking about that category of stuff (rather than gratis stuff per se).
So, just as a suggestion: FLOer or FLOwer
That's corny in a way I kinda don't like, but just adding it to the
brainstorming.
FLOist?
Or -ist otherwise, Librist, Freeist?
I think FLOist is my favorite, it doesn't sound like anything anyone has
heard in some other context, so less likely to be confused.
