Just to name a few, among more of them:

Then those packages where words "Free Software Foundation" do not
exist:

0x0-20201014.1445.el
 - public domain CC0 1.0 questionable if free in other countries but
   US

aggressive-fill-paragraph-20181106.1354.el
  - no license
  
alan-mode-20200723.1405.el
   - MIT
   
anaphora-20180618.2200.el
  - public domain, in other countries can be proprietary by default
  
anki-mode-20200703.739.el
  - no license, proprietary by default

now these below I did not check, but the pattern says that there will
be many like that. In these there is no "Free Software" inside. But I
did not grep well enough.

Pattern above should speak for itself.
