There was discussion back in 2007 of TrueCrypt, and the conclusion was 
that the license was non-free, with several major problems.

There is now a BSD-licensed alternative to TrueCrypt called tcplay, 
which works with Linux using the device mapper:
     https://github.com/bwalex/tc-play

I've sucessfully used it to read and write encrypted NTFS volumes 
created with TrueCrypt on Windows 7.

I have submitted a package for review:
