Jan:  I agree.  GParted should be and is designed to run using Free
Software[1].  This is mentioned in the GParted mission statement [2].

[2] https://gparted.org/development.php#mission-statement

If a check were to be added then in my opinion it would be better to
rule out proprietary versions rather than try to verify Free Software
versions.  The reason being that Free Software versions and
identification might change over time and as long as the command
arguments are still valid, then GParted should permit the code to run.
In other words, GParted should assume that the Free Software works.  If
it doesn't then a bug report can be raised and the issue dealt with at
that time.
