Neither was I? "Open Source vs Free Software" is exactly about BSD/MIT/... vs GPL. As a cofounder of the OSI, ESR is most certainly not a centrist on that. To quote Wikipedia on the OSI: "The Open Source Initiative chose the term "open source," in founding member Michael Tiemann's words, to "dump the moralizing and confrontational attitude that had been associated with 'free software'" and instead promote open source ideas on "pragmatic, business-case grounds.""
