Amendment; it seems the other FUTO product has a 10 purchase. So it’s not free, but seems to be winrar’s approach. “Please pay, but if you don’t we won’t know”

By the spirit of the definition, no.
By the literal definition - yes; it’s free and the source is open to look at. You could fork it, but you can’t sell your own version.
No, free in FOSS stands for libre or independent, not the financial definition. Due to the license restrictions, the software is not “free”.

This is purely speculation, and shouldn’t be considered fact.
This is not free software. See license.
In other words, I can’t download the code, reskin it and sell “Bob’s Voice to Text” for $1.29 on the play store. Seems reasonable to me.
But, if I understand correctly, you cannot create your own fork and modify the code to improve it / alter features. Right? Then it’s not FOSS.
