Free software requires that these freedoms are given to the user:
Freedom 0: The freedom to run the program for any purpose.
Freedom 1: The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish.
Freedom 2: The freedom to redistribute and make copies so you can help your neighbour.
Freedom 3: The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public, so that the whole community benefits.
Most OSI-approved licenses (GPL, MIT/BSD, Apache...) are considered Free/Libre.
In some cases, the software itself is libre but has a hard dependency on a third-party service that cannot be self-hosted/is outside the user's control. To workaround this we added the ⚠ tag in awesome-selfhosted. This should only apply to software that will not work (or with very limited functionality) without access to the third-party.
Following the move from awesome-selfhosted (https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted/issues/2024#issuecomment-722792179) it would be nice to know which software is Free/Libre software, and which is proprietary.

Entries that have been imported from awesome-selfhosted already have their licenses listed, so I think it's just a matter of adding a

Entries imported from awesome-selfhosted already have the proper tag attached (only Socioboard).
