Bryan, It is not a political agenda or radical to have concluded that open source is a good thing. Therefore, it is not radical or political to advocate for it as a preference over closed-source solutions. Branding someone a radical just because they advocate for one solution over another is just plain nonsense. Let's not worry too much about being viewed as "community radicals"; lets just keep making the best open source solutions we know how. Those who see the benefits will follow; those who don't, will do something else. In the end, there is very little value to the open source community in supporting an infestation of binary-hacks into the O/S, no matter how much you personally believe in the functionality they add.
