Your claim is not justified. Look at the FSF's page: The BSD license, the Academic Free license, the Apache license, the Open Source license, and many more give the licensee the four rights. It's not just the GPL that's constitutes Free Software.

Whether or not people would have use these licenses to create a similar amount of Free software is a historical question that cannot be confirmed or rejected.
