Currently, we have two non-free packages: 'gpc' and 'spline-gsvspl'.
They seem to be unmaintained. I would not object to discarding these
packages. Besides this, I believe all packages are BSD, GPL 2 or 3 or
public domain.

This happens and it is a problem. The current 'solution' is that
unmaintained packages doesn't get any love.

I think we all feel like that way, which is why some packages aren't
actively maintained. I guess we should be better at communicating that
some packages are without maintainers.
