I'll be you use a lot of RMS-style free software, though! Just because you don't want to contribute, doesn't mean free software isn't a good thing.

I certainly do use GPL licensed software. The GPL makes sense in various situations, but that's a complicated and long topic.

By the way, I do contribute to free software, and enjoy doing so a great deal:

(Unfortunately the patches/ and files/ bits aren't working due to issues with mod_rails)

My issue is with the idea that I should under no circumstances work on proprietary software.
