Which definition of free do you use?
You may have valid criticism against AGPL but non-free isn't one. It's free according to the free software definitions and the open source definition. It's recognized as free by the two organisms providing relevant definition (OSI and GNU) and by all the relevant actors, including Linux distributions and even big proprietary companies (including GitHub).
I think you are misunderstanding the meaning of "for any purpose". It only applies to what you do with it when you run it. It does not mean you can do anything you want with the source code. It is very important to understand this aspect correctly when developing software or for a free software / open source enthusiast.
