Proprietary in what sense? Proprietary as in closed-source? No.
Proprietary as in not a standard? Yes.

Those are for the splashimage patch, which is completely different. The
difference between the two is the splashimage just shows an image and draws
the regular GRUB menu on top of that image, while gfxmenu makes it possible
possible to have animation, change the location of the menu, have pop-up help
screens, change the language, and so on.

The message file is a cpio archive that contains the theme. To see what's
inside, copy /boot/message to an empty directory somewhere and run 'cpio -i <
message' to extract it. For the benefit, see above.
