Is PyPI intended for the listing of paid commercial software?

Given "If you have some free software or open source modules that you've
polished up and would like to contribute, we'd love to have them
included in the PyPI!" from

I thought not, but

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/emma/1.0

for instance, has a 1000 euro license fee. If this is OK, I think there
should be an indication on such listings so one not interested in paying
such a fee would not waste time. Or there should be a separate
'commercial software' section with paid listings.

Most of these packages, including emma, correctly have the "License :: Other/Proprietary License" classifier attached to them.
