Yes. Guild Wars and Threshold are also free to play (just not free to buy/register), and you'll see Guild Wars advertising itself as such. Many of the large monthly-fee commercial muds also allow you to play for free (as long as you don't mind creating a new account each month).
The problem is that if you use the term 'free' to mean only 'free to play' and nothing more, then most commercial muds would have good grounds for arguing that they fall into that classification. I think this could get very confusing for prospective players.
