Why? An 'orthodox' is a person who follows his beliefs very very strictly,
'fanatic' has a similar meaning (yeah I know those two words are sort of
redundant but I just wanted to express how extreme the view appears).

There is no negative connotation, in fact most 'fans' (=fanatics) or people
with 'orthodox' beliefs are proud of it.

Ultimately it was just a way of expressing how extreme I consider the idea
that  free and non-free software on the same physical media would be
unacceptable to them, even if the installation procedure clearly asks the
user whether to install the non-free software or not.
