free for commercial purpose? And I'll integrating my own preprocessing
steps for OCR along with tesseract source. In that case, what kind of
license is valid? Still can it be used for free commercial purpose?

You can use all open source in commercial purposes. You just have to
adjust your distribution and/or licensing accordingly.
It does not free you from patents, though. Look out if you live in
Japan or the U.S.A or any other country that allows for software patents.
As always, ask a lawyer.

not all those who wander are lost;
the old that is strong does not wither,
deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
a light from the shadows shall spring;
renewed shall be blade that was broken,
the crownless again shall be king.”
