Incidentally, if Melpa agrees to your request to remove all packages
wrapping around proprietary software, it will be a matter of days
before such a repository appears.

And yes, it would be free, in my opinion. Because users are free to
use Emacs in whichever way they want, including in workflows involving
non-free software.

This is, again, a matter of opinion.
