Literally me. Had to interview someone for a school project relating to religion a couple years back, so as a non-religious person I interviewed Richard Stallman. Ever since I've been using free software for pretty much everything. It has become such an obsession that I've gotten work due to it and I've forced even a government authority to change their ToS to not violate GPLv3.
