Exactly correct. There are basic philosophical underpinnings to the GNU/FSF approach to open source and as such the FSF's entire purpose is advancing those principles, not just some general sense of "open source". I personally don't hold their vision and I find their philosophical position flawed. I see tactical use in their licenses when I want to limit certain developer freedoms without having a fully closed source license, but will generally license MIT if creating a genuinely open source piece work.
