The "Stallman sense" is "free", in that if you want to use it, you are
forced into certain conditions.

The "Microsoft sense" is "non-free", in that if you want to use it, you are
forced into certain conditions.

Not at all. The GPL puts no conditions on the use of GPLed software- only on distributing it. If you want to use it, you have no conditions whatsoever. The GPL is a conditional granting of additional rights. MS has conditions on use (the EULA), and forbids distribution.
