Thanks for the list.

It seems to be under the GPL:

    https://github.com/davidshepherd7/anki-mode/blob/master/LICENCE

MELPA requires a "GPL compatible license", according to

    https://github.com/melpa/melpa/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.org

so I guess the "proprietary by default" packages you are speaking of are
simply missing the license information in the library itself?  Sounds
like that should be reported as a bug against those packages.

PS. I've opened a pull request against anki-mode to add the license
    header.
