The issue in so far as getting the FSF to endorse your distribution (as I understand it) is not just what software is included in it, but also if it encourages you to use proprietary software or not. The FSF Website tells you a little more.
Mandrake's commerical offerings (e.g. the club) include non-free software and they encourage their users to join the club, therefore I imagine they would fail any FSF test.
