I don't think I misunderstand the terminology at all.

My point was that "free as in freedom" implies free as in price. That's literally what I said.

I do acknowledge that I appear to be in disagreement with many people about what GNU's point is when they insist "it's not about price".

To me, "it's not about price" means you're trying to say that price has nothing to do with freedom.

For others, "it's not about price" simply means that's not the focus, or not the only point, or not the main point. Which is a fair and perhaps more accurate understanding of GNU's point.

I could very well be mistaken about GNU's intent. Judging by the amount of downvotes I'm getting, I'm clearly in a minority. But I remain unconvinced.
