There’s no argument for the change in the general case. There’s rationalizations, sure.

But no euphemisms like “public”, “free software”, “copyleft”, make the change anything less than taking away a freedom and calling it “free as in speech”.

If you have the right to speak your mind and I have the right to blast an airhorn every time you open your mouth...

... and I actually do that ...

... do you actually have the right to speak? Maybe banning airhorns would increase speech rights.

Actually, you don’t have that right. Most cities ban public nuisance noises such as blasting air horns.

You’re mostly free to do things that do not harm others. If you don’t like my speaking you can and should just move along. Blasting an air horn is not only harming me it harms everyone around you. Whereby you are interfering with everyone else’s right to not have public nuisances.

It isn’t remotely similar to what I’m saying anyway.

The free software foundation has brainwashed y’all to think less freedom is more freedom. And yes, I will die on this hill.

It isn’t my fault if you have an issue with objective reality.
