I would say wrong interpretation. The GPL is not about "freedom", it is about "freedom" :-) The term has very specific meaning depending on who is using it, and few define the meaning they are using when using the word in regards to software. To the credit of many of the GPL advocates, they have been willing to spell out what they mean by freedom, although you have to read lots of interviews since it is not explicit in the license(s) themselves. And it is not childish. It is actually a very sophisticated way to achieve a result. Language, as Orwell wrote so well about, and political advisors of both parties use so well, can be a powerful way to confuse, misdirect, and to manipulate, as well as the potential to enlighten. I give all sides great credit for learning from the masters even as I wish they were not so good at the first parts.
