I dislike when people like RMS get semantic and gatekeep words like "free software", but this is the end product of a world without gatekeepers. People just use words in a way that's convenient to them.
Literally how language has always worked and evolved, though.
Oof, I know there's a bunch of linguists and grammarians who are going to mock you for that bracket.
It is but it was the "correct" part attached to prescriptivism they'd be mocking because that is not how linguists and grammarians work (they are descriptivists and fond of making fun of prescriptivists.)
