When you say that those things are non-free, what precisely does that
mean?  It might be a misunderstanding, because a service is neither
free nor proprietary.

Do these packages run any nonfree software or use some nonfree
collection of data?  Or are you referring to the fact that they send
commands to a service?

See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/network-services-arent-free-or-nonfree.html.
