from the FTSE "the index company" website,

Free float restrictions include:
Trade investments in an index constituent either by another constituent (i.e. cross-holdings) or non-constituent company or entity
Significant long term holdings by founders, their families and/or directors
Employee share schemes (if restricted)
Government holdings
Portfolio investments subject to a lock in clause, for the duration of that clause


from this link
Index Rules - Free Float

thanks
