This is how it appears to me also.

I suspect by 'free', GNU licenses aren't really referring to user-freedom more so source-code-freedom.

It all depends on the developer's objectives, no doubt.

Source-code freedom is user freedom. It's effectively a sort of guarantee.

The additional freedom that BSD licences provide is freedom for developers to do what they like, not anything to do with users.

(The biggest practical advantage of a BSD licence for most developers is that if you use one when publishing your code while you work for a company, you yourself will still be able to reuse that code after you leave.)

Developers are users.
