I'm not sure what the difference is between a GNU/Linux user and a person who is using GNU/Linux because they don't want to use Windows. If you look at places like /r/linux on reddit the Linux fanboys there are practically wetting themselves over steam. I agree that more open source games would be a good thing, but I don't see it as necessarily more important than having access to the unedited recordings of a piece of music.

Is someone really a GNU/Linux user if they have no respect for the core values of the system? I personally don't understand the exuberance on reddit. It's just another package manager in the already large sea of them, and a proprietary DRMed one at that; it doesn't really seem to provide any practical advantages to anybody. I believe it did on Windows, where even developers didn't have any reasonable package management system until a few years ago. But I see no real business strategy here. Also funny that you mention that because as a hobbyist musician I think it would be pretty cool to have CC-SA'ed masters of some of my favorite songs.
