I suspect that proprietary means that it's their own (YAOSL?) licence, not that it's commercial software. Perhaps sourceforge is for Open Source rather than Free software?
Unfortunalty I have not found an easy method to get the license distribution of the freshmeat database. (I have send them mail and asked for it today.)
I updated my copy of their applist today. The votes are:

Apologies for the lack of spaces, but my applist is a cooked copy for another project.
