No. Why don't you just read that page? That page describes why software should be free. You are confusing several things I think. The GNU project was and is made by people who believe software should be free. These people are talking about all software, not just GNU software. The GNU GPL is the license that rms and others made to be used by the GNU system, but it is widely used by non-GNU projects, which is okay. When -dt- says that the Opera browser is not free, he is right. According to the definition he linked to, Opera is not free software. (Read that page!)

Other things you might want to read:

Free as in free speech, not as in free beer!

If -dt- says the world is flat does everyone agree with him?  Just because a group of people have 1 definition of "Free Software" does not make it apply to every piece of software you don't have to pay for.

Giving negative feedback for what is clearly fact is stupid if you ask me, so I returned the favour.
