Richard,

I do not follow you here. AFAICT MELPA is free software, licensed under
GPL3, you can read the LICENSE file here:
https://github.com/melpa/melpa/blob/master/LICENSE.md

This includes the JavaScript code
(https://github.com/melpa/melpa/blob/master/html/js/melpa.js).

I think, but I might be wrong, that you are referring to compatibility
with LibreJS.

If LibreJS cannot determine that the JavaScript files are free, that is
another issue, but it does not make it nonfree.

Maybe I misunderstood you?

Nico
