I rarely need a single word for this, but I sometimes use 
"softwareliberista" with friends ("liberista" usually means an advocate 
of the free market); for supporters of the commons some use 
"benicomunista" (opposite problem, rhymes with "communist").

For those who don't dislike the acronym "FOSS" or "FLOSS" it's easy to 
use "fosser" or "flosser" but it can get funny. Sometimes we use 
"Wikisourcerer" or "Wikisourceror" for Wikisource users, so one could 
even use "opensourceror" for fun. In fact I see someone created a 
Wiktionary lemma for this (apparently there are sources from 2008 and 2015).
