I do not.

Whilst I have no problem, in principle, for paying for Linux software,
most that you pay for are restricted by the licence and terms of use.

The same is true of most "freeware" available for use in Windows - no
cost but a restrictive licensing environment - which I do not class as
"free".

That is the litmus test: can I pass it on to whomsoever I please?  Can
I examine its source code to learn more about coding?  Does the
software allow me to alter it for my own purposes (even if I do not
wish to)?  Nothing in this list you note has anything to do with the
cost of the item.
