I have umpired many softball games (ASA, FED, NCAA). There would be no IFF on the soft liner described in the OP. All softball codes also prohibit intentional dropping of the ball (though a fielder can allow a ball to drop untouched).
However, unlike in OBR, in ASA a fielder can deliberately guide the ball to the ground, as with a closed glove or his body. So F6 could knock the soft liner down and try for a double play. I haven't seen a fielder try that in actual play, however.
