I agree that this should be reworded to something like:

  "All of the source code to this product is available under free software
  licenses"

But before doing this, we have to check that all licenses are effectively
approved by the FSF/GNU to use only the "free software" wording.

If their programs are under a free software license, I don't see any problem
there.

This is a problem, we have to drop the related programs from IceCat.

Thanks for your feedback;)
