> According to the linked website and the license file in the Github repository "non-trial commercial use requires licenses available from firebuild.com." I think that makes it non-free under the DFSG. Are you planning to upload firebuild to the non-free component?

Yes, absolutely. The license is designed to allow distribution and the
packaging already targets non-free.
