Untrue. The FSF is quite happy with a lot of 'free software' licenses. There
are some (like old advertising BSD) it considers dubious. There are others it
considers free - some GPL compatible and some not. Of the ones it considers
free there are some it doesn't usually recommend first off (eg BSD) because
they don't ensure the code will remain free in future.
