12 months ago "Free" currently does both. (At the moment it is not very intuitive. I have plans to change this in the future.)
It filters for all gratis / free of charge / propertary (marked with a bottle) and for software with FLOSS licenses (marked with a open book). I use the regex (?:.\*GPL.\*|Apache.\*|.\*BSD.\*|PD|WTFPL|Ms-PL.\*) at the moment to check the license value in the SoftwareTemplate. I am interested in a better method.
There are also other cases in which I have to rely on the correct documentation, e.g. for software documented with the ServiceItem template https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:Service_item. In the case of software documented with a layer template https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:Layer, I do not yet have a mechanism that recognises whether the software is free.
My goal is that as many people as possible can benefit from OpenStreetMap and contribute to it. I would like to make the switch to OpenStreetMap more accessible. Free of charge software is helpful here.
Feel free to send a pull request or something.
I see there is "Free" checkbox, but I assume it means "Free (of charge)" and not "Free (as in free speech)".
What I am instead interested in is to filter only for software with included 4 freedoms i.e. FOSS - I am not interested in proprietary licensed closed-source, regardless of its price (or lack thereof).
