Are the stars on the website just made up?

I also find the phrasing rather odd. The open source movement is about "free as in speech, not beer".

Maybe it's meant to list "free alternatives" which is completely valid thing to do.

The Free Software movement is about "free as in speech, not as in beer" and control by the end user. The Open Source Software movement is about value leveraging in the marketplace for the profit of the vendor or distributor.

This list is about stuff you can get without paying for it ("free as in beer").
