Techically, it’s the license that determines whether something goes into free or not.

The license information in the packages is:

All files under po/ are licensed under the terms of BSD. (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php)
All files under pphw/ are licensed under the terms of GPL. (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt)
Other files are licensed under the terms of the GNU LGPL. (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.php)


That means it really is for the free repository. How on Earth do they expect that someone will not just strip the limitations and republish, I have no idea (this is not even remotely questionable, unlike, say, the FMTX issue).
