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
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

Free software developer for over 20 years. Occasional FSF/FSFE paying

You could be a slow stupid fool and just happen to reject proprietary software
on principle because your friends are doing it too. Still helps our cause.

What are your reasons for being on this list? I'm not saying I agree with the
communist perspective, but I do think there are ethical reasons for not
producing and for rejecting proprietary software.

You have described your reasons for rejecting proprietary software, but there

clever
genius

Hey all,
What do you think of 'libran'? It's concise, but not entirely clear
unless you're familiar with free/libre software. It does emphasize the
belief in the user's freedom by saying specifically libre, and is
familar-sounding to most people because of its (very strong)
