I’m thinking about using suse slowroll but I’m concerned about SUSE’s wishy washy policy on free software. Are there any programs that aren’t free software in the OSS repo?

What “wishy-washy” policy are you on about?

The fact that they keep saying “open source” instead of free software. Also they seem to just assume that you will want to use non-free software out if the box.

Then yes, there are all kinds of things in the repositories that are going to annoy you.
