FSF and GPL are about user freedom. Nobody who has been in software for "decades" could misinterpret that.
You would be surprised. There are many developers who rail against the GPL for restricting their ability to turn free software proprietary, and who subsequently call BSD-style licenses "more free", because those allow them to do more things.
That is a misunderstanding of what the FSF is about, but it is a fairly common misunderstanding.
