To be precise the first half of Freedom One [1] is the requirement (and not a guarantee), not "Open Source" or "Free Software". And the requisites for that requirement are decriminalization of research including sharing results of those, and possibility of said research, i.e. absence of technical measures that prevent access to the software.
This may work with politicians. I fear, persuading them to grant users other freedoms (like a freedom to change program or distribute your changes) is very unlikely to happen.
[1]: "The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish"
