I'm not the FSF, and I don't speak for it, but it seems to me that this would be "mission accomplished".
The goal AFAIK is not to force people to enable others to hack the hardware or software to their liking. The goal is respect for the freedoms, it's not making it more difficult for others to do what you can and want to do. I guess it also goes under the name "Golden Rule". Others might phrase it as tit-for-tat, or quid pro quo.
