We fought by pushing BillionsLOC of quality software because we believed in a defined freedom. (some actually did not care, for real, but most cared) We made it a name, we made the rules by backing up our ideals with our code, and our definition of free software (sometimes great (python, Perl, postfix..) sometimes worthless (mine for instance ;) ). Call me a vocal integrist. It may be true. But we all worked hard to achieve where we are today. We fought to define Free Software in very precise way to backup our claim for freedom. CC (/NC) won't change the definition of free software without the people who defined it being a little pissed. You cannot take our freedom away to define what free software is, because we all collectively took part in it thanks to theses licenses. And for the record, I may be a so called integrists. But, making fun of my values because you don't like them or they don't suit you, is what integrists do.

Have to admit this makes me curious to know more about your contributions!

  - a bot self hosted on my server to pickup girls on dating sites that conveniently disappeared; - a lot of trolls (Don't check I am a real troll); - some actual freelancing jobs where I was pretty much a failure; - took part in a website in a an uninteresting minor foreign language about free software; - and I took part in some of obscure gatherings where people talked about free software like benjamin. I am an average no one (you can actually check my background, I am a failure without any false modesty with ultra minor contributions, but I am not really ashamed). I am little bit excessive, but I can make people smile while talking about free software. I have the weired idea however it does not matter. I really don't think any open source programming language will accept my revolutionary idea that objects should follow the 17 rules of linear algebra (I swear I am convinced my idea is as brilliant as checking PRNG with Taken's series, or using L1 geometry instead of Euclidean while working with computers, and I swear I know I will fail and I am a bit crazy). I think I may be the member of the family you don't want to show to your neighbors/fiancée. But still I am part of the family :) It's kind of cool, though. There is nothing wrong in not being successful or as fun as linus torvalds. I am pretty happy with it and I guess I am not alone in not feeling alone doing free software without being a star. Maybe like probably http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ROG5728 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ROG5728 A gun nerd that cares the truth is said about the H&K P11. I think the idea is more important than who you are. Even though I am really no one, it is fun, and I like it... the way it is... I am pretty conservative. Sorry.
