I don't think so. Free Software has a definition:
http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
You're welcome to argue that this is a fuzzy definition,
but any licenced software I've seen very easily falls into
Free or Non-Free. This is a the mailing list for AFFS
(http://www.affs.org.uk/), which, like it or not, is
an organisation set up to promote Free Software as defined
above.

I don't think pointing out that some people are here under
a false impression of 'Free Software' makes anybody a fanatic.
Would you flame people for pointing out that the 'Big Blue'
surfers mailing list was not for questions about IBM?
