While the guardian website does contain non-free javascript, it is not required to read the article. I currently have noscript enabled and can read the article just fine. I don't even see any ads this way, and I'm not using an adblocker.
So I'd say the website does meet his standard for freedom, because you don't need any non-free software to read it.
