My point is not that the GPL is contradicting itself, but that the GNU philosophy contradicts the GPL.There is a quote in item 4 at that link you shared, which says:

Putting a paywall up is a method of control. I think I represented GNU's position fairly.The only thing you're not allowed to do is do a change and "close" it.
It's like you're begrudging freedom fighters their actions because they are violating the feudal rights of their historical oppressors.
