   The primary thing that offends people

It's not the primary thing for all people.  It's may be the primary
thing for a subset of the subset of all people, where this subset of
all people is defined as those are offended in some way about FSF.

   about the GPS

I assume GPL is meant here.

   /Free Software
   Foundation is misinterpretation of the word "free".  "Free" here
   means "no charge".  It does not mean "unencumbered".

It's not a misinterpretation of the word "free".  It's just that some
people choose one interpretation over another.

Here's a third:

FSF's name was choosen in the spirit of 'Free the Chicago 7' (among
other reasons).  Part of the thought was that the software itself was
freed and couldn't be restricted by anyone at the cost of another.

In retrospect, I wish we had named the foundation the:
	Software Freedom Foundation.
It would have reduced our educational burden some.  ;-}
