Ihor -

I did see your reply but was also surprised by your editorial request. I assert 
that Scrim (GPLv3 license) and Captee (Apache license) are libre software where 
the source is available for both applications, but not gratis in that I have 
chosen to sell them through the Apple App Store. Given that the FSF has taken 
considerable energy in making the distinction between libre and gratis 
software, I would think that Org would also recognize this distinction.

As I have editorial control over how I wish to present my software, I 
respectfully decline your request to change their presentation on my websites.

That said, you as maintainer have editorial control over the Org website. If it 
is a requirement that 3rd party tools listed in https://orgmode.org/tools.html 
be both libre and gratis, then that is your prerogative and we can close this 
conversation. But I would suggest that this page be less ideological and 
provide recognition of all tools that work with Org. 


Regards -

Charles
