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.
How about "speerfie"? That's "s" for software and "p" for person tacked
on to "free" spelt backward, then "ie" at the end as in "freebie". Or
just "peerfie"?
Or maybe "freeps" = free software person?
I like how cute all your names sound. "Speerfie" gets better the more
you say it I think
