The issue isn't the use of the word "only". It's the use of the words "free" and "freedom". Like I wrote before, the FSF's definitions of "free" and "freedom" are weighted towards end users (as in "users like me who are not themselves developers") and against developers (as in "users like Tivo and Google who are primarily developers"). The GPL has always favored end users over developers. The onus of supporting software freedom according the FSF's definition has always rested on developers with end users getting a free ride should they choose to take it.
