This is why I license anything I write that’s remotely useful as GPL3, it pisses exactly this type of person off. Open source is antithetical to the free software movement. You should always push back against people who try to minimise the FSF/GNU.
I maintain a few web app projects I wrote from scratch. All are AGPLv3. I treasure my small but intense collection of hate mail from people demanding I relicense it all under the MIT license.
