Well, your analysis of the issue is deeply flawed, then.
The issue is if the GPLv3 would restrict the use of a GPLed program. And it seems that it does. That makes the current GPLv3 draft unfree. I am sorry if you are unable to see that.

Well, again, I disagree, and stand by my points. Take them or leave
