Beeing one of the Admins for openstreetmap.de I can answer this. We do have
a rule that all software developed or hosted on these servers has to be
Open Source. I was not aware that OSM Composer was not and I have asked
the author for clarification. I'll report back here when we have sorted this
out.

In my opinion this does not apply for the wiki. The wiki is a general
informational ressource that can have information about lots of things
that are not the "core OSM project". If only Open Source software would be
allowed there, we'd have to remove all mentionings of my OSM Inspector
for instance.
