Freedoms and rights are the same thing.

No. In the context of IP law they are exact opposites, since the
"rights" in question are specifically the rights to limit other people's
freedoms.

The are the exact negatives of each other. Each freedom defines a right, and vice versa. (If you mean "rights to restrict", which is the way that rights are worded in the CC licenses.)
So while being the exact opposites, they are defining the same boundary, and I think that's what Björn wanted to express.
