Before merging, I am unsure if this would be considered a free or non-free license.

Gut feels: free, as in it doesn't restrict who can use it. It does require contribution back under certain circumstances such as AGPL. Worth dinging some other folks and getting their opinions as well.

Well, it's a "free for open source or personal use" license as it seems to me. If you share your work, you can do anything. If GPL is free with conditions (provide source code if you distribute or build upon), then this should probably be a free license too.
