There is a licence in the Debian package and, since Debian is quite
picky about freedom, I assume it is right. It looks like quite BSDish:

And source archive includes Boehm GC, which is already debianized
as libgc5 and libgc5-dev, so this Debian binary package uses it 
instead of libgc which comes with w3m sources.

Yes (and I agree that a HTML viewer - I am sorry that I have to
explain that HTML is not HTTP-port-80 - should be included in the
base).
