I meant users literally.
rms told me - you can USE the software for any purpose.

Yep, and if your use involves giving the software to other people, but you don't want to give them the source code, you're restricted from that use.

There is no legal definition where "use" is somehow equal to "distribute" as you're using it.

There's no legal definition of any of this, it's fully specified by the license.
