The distinction between free and non-free is defined for _works_,
which can be copied.  To call a web site "non-free" is not defined.  See
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/network-services-arent-free-or-nonfree.html.

I don't know what Thibaut had in mind when he categorized some web
sites as "non-free", so I have no idea whether there is a real issue
in that package at all.  Maybe it is fully ok.

Please remember that we have a written standard for referring to web
sites.  It is the node References in the GNU Coding Standards.  If you
want to discuss questions like this, please read it carefully so that
you don't get trapped in spurious arguments criticizing policies that
are _not our actual policies_.
