Surely if it doesn't allow modification there's not much doubt that it's non-free?


And there was a somewhat-public dispute between the GNU Ghostscript team and the GNU Project leadership (specifically RMS) over the fact that GNU Ghostscript pointed people to Aladdin Ghostscript which is non-free - last I heard, GNU Ghostscript was no longer part of the GNU project (although the split was amicable) because they were unwilling to remove all references to the non-free project. So I'm fairly sure that the rule against pointing people to non-free code is enforced strictly on software that is part of the GNU project.
