Proprietary is probably the correct word.
This is also a bug in Malone:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+source/gnome-app-install/+bug/44925
Suggestions that were made there include:
"restricted"
"Show closed-source applications"
"Reduced Freedom"
According to this comment, it is fixed in Edgy, although I don't have an
Edgy machine or live-cd handy currently:

Sebastian Heinlein also posted these screenshots with an improved UI:

The screenshots above show how the terminology can be improved while
improving the UI at the same time.
