If effort has been made to obfuscate code, then it's not free software. Free software doesn't hinder your ability to share, run, modify and or share modifications. That's what makes it free.

That's still not in the spirit of free software, but if later versions are better, freely available and almost entirely a superset then it becomes a bit of a pedantic distinction.
