I'm told that the MELPA site requires nonfree software:
This statement is untrue, and we've discussed this before on this list.
This is unethical and works directly against what we say. Does anyone
here know the site maintainers well enough to convince them to fix
this?
They have an issue filed to have their site work with LibreJS:
https://github.com/melpa/melpa/issues/3731
From reading the comments, they've contacted the LibreJS maintainer,
and there had been some positive exchange. I don't know whether any
problems remain, and why.
