GNU and the FSF operate on the level of language, and rightly so, since terms like "freedom" are nebulous and have been thought about and debated by philosophers since Augustine (or maybe before with examples by sophists) all the way through analytic philosophy today. There is an indicator of the GNU endgame on that forst link about not free distros, specifically

  OpenBSD and perhaps other BSD distributions (called “projects” by BSD developers)

We can see here that they enforce their language as the norm first ("distributions") before offhandedly and perhaps disrespectfully acknowledging the language of the BSD crowd ("projects"). This is what GNU and/or the FSF do. Hence the definitions of freedom and the following declarations of what is and os not free.

GNU is a philosophy, and for my money, as long as they arent aggressive in their tactics (i.e. they play in their own space, letting others do their thing) then I can't make any value judgements on their actions, nor would i care to.

Disclaimer, I use OpenBSD, because it works, is secure, and is based on ideas of mandoc, vi, and not fixing what isnt broken in Unix, rather than info, emacs, and reprogrammong everything under the sun.
