Open Source is often used to describe software that has its source code
available regardless of the license involved. "Free Software" as promoted by
the Free Software Foundation (FSF) is a different thing. I belive that the
DJB software is Open Source, but not free.

Based on the FSF definition it is not the cost, but what you are allowed to
do with it that is the issue.
