I have, however, come to the conclusion that software licensed under the GPL is far from "free software".
Not to take on OP himself, but this kind of semantic argument gets tiring.
Free Software is a name for a concept that essentially means, "all software that gives the user the four freedoms state in its definition." The whole discussion around what it means for software to really be Free is a pointless red herring.
