> it cannot be considered "non-free" since it is not published, only run internally
Being free software has nothing to do with being published. A program is free software if its users have permission to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. That is probably not the case for internal-use applications, so they're not free software.

When a software is run internally in an enterprise (especially if it is run for the enterprise's purposes), its user is the enterprise, not each individual users... the enterprise can modify it, but it does not have the obligation to send the source code to each employee, and it can put rules in place to prevent that.
