В пакете ошибочно указана лицензия GPL, тогда как в файле
LICENSE написано, среди прочего, следующее:

Use and copying of this software and the preparation of derivative
works based on this software are permitted, so long as the following
conditions are met:

...

o  No fees or compensation are charged for use, copies, or
   access to this software. You may charge a nominal
   distribution fee for the physical act of transferring a
   copy, but you may not charge for the program itself.


Настал мой черёд задавать вопрос, как лучше обозначить эту лицензию
в пакете -- non-free или distributable?

Написал non-free.

Но ещё раз перечитал The Free Software Definition 
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
и подумал, что явного противоречия здесь нет.

Если бы речь шла о "non-commercial use", то здесь всё понятно --
это противоречит свободе №0 (запускать программу с любой целью).
Но речь идет об извлечении прибыли от перепродажи программы, если
эта прибыль значительно превышает номинальные издержки.

А свобода №2 сформулирована как социально-ориентированная: "the
freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor".

Выходит, что запрет на непропорциональную наживу не слишком-то
противоречит какому-либо пункту определения free software.
