No it isn't. Free software is about specific software freedoms originally defined by the FSF which overlap, but are not quite accurately captured by that statement. So yeah, Stallman would object because he's all about such fine distinctions.

If I recall correctly there is only one or two licenses among hundreds that aren't both recognized by the FSF and the OSI. The differences are largely ideological, not technical/legal. I'm a fan of Open Source but my main side project is under GPL v2.
