True from a literal rule interpretation. Most good officials I know use the following philosophy. As long as the foot is not down beyond the free kick line let it go. If it's an onside kick attempt then the line becomes a plane and is more literally enforced. Having part of your body beyond the free kick line plane when the play is going to take place at least 40-50 yards away is not a significant advantage.
