Yes, there are some software products out there that claim to be "open
source", yet do not respect the definition of "free as in freedom"
that Stallman is talking about.

Examples:

http://www.zimbra.com/

http://www.atlassian.com/

http://www.pentaho.com/

http://www.socialtext.com/ (has recently obscured the "community" edition)

http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/

There are probably many more.
