Eric S. Raymond, the leader of the Open Source Initiative at the time
wrote: "the term [Free software] makes a lot of corporate types
nervous ... There's now a chance we can make serious gains in the
mainstream business world".[1]  So yes, it was an attempt to sweep
under the rug our ideas about user freedom to make it more palatable
to "corporate types" and big business.

The FSF has taken a principled stance against this:
