Free/Libre software is software that respects the user's freedom. Software that meets the "4 Freedoms" is considered free/libre. The free software movement was started by Richard Stallman to to pursue the liberation of cyberspace. To create a free digital world for computers users.
Richard Stallman started the GNU project to develop an operating system for this, and pioneered the concept of copyleft with their GNU GPL license. Copyleft is a specific kind of a free/libre license that guarantees the user's freedom is preserved when the software exchanges hands.

They do not care. Their goals and ideals are different. They would only know about it once it is bad enough in the proprietary software world, such that their goals and ideals would not be met in the proprietary world and only in the free software world.
There is one scenario I have thought of; if there is ever a revolution of some sort where some group overthrows a government, if then someone manages to have the values of software freedom latch onto this revolutionary group then it would be possible to have software freedom be forced into legistlation of a nation state.
So one possible strategy that needs to be given serious attention is promoting software freedom to revolutionary organizations and such, on the off chance they may one day succeed in their goal. Basically it's also quite irrelevant what the radicals push for, software freedom is pretty compatible with any kind of a value system for the most part that I can think of, in any case at least this should be done.
But I don't know if some computer people have it in them to go infiltrate/join revolutionary organizations just to spread their philosophy, it's pretty far fetched but not impossible in the silgtest.
