I guess part of the issue is that Stallman came up with "Free Software," so there's obviously a version of the meaning of the term which is entirely up to Stallman.

If you agree there's a wider meaning of the term, then it's up to context whether someone's making a no true Scotsman argument or rationalizing the behavior of an antagonist.

Just pointing this out, because you might as well be arguing the meta-point about there being a cathedral of the meaning of "Free Software," or a bazaar. Hah.
