By your logic pretty much every software is non free.

$insertgplprogramm ... I cannot link it against proprietary software
which makes it non free.

$randombsdlicensedprogram ... I cannot remove that damned copyright
notice ? Thats a restriction !!!! its non free.

....

But I digress. (Just wanted to show that the claim "it has
restrictions and thus is non free" is nonsense).

But anyway in case you missed it trademarks and copyright are entirely
different things.  The whole free software concept applies to the
_later_ NOT the former.
