Did this person just take the concept of "free" used by "free software" and imply that the meaning of this "free" is as in "having rights"?

I ask because he compared it to frying pans. Frying pans can't be "free", therefor software can't be "free"???

I've always understood "free software" to mean "software that gives the user control over what it does and does not do"
