Not that you should use GenAI at all, but the answer to this is simple. It's free to "license", that is there is no license.
This is "freepd", the music is available free and royalty-free.
It costs money to generate music on Suno and (presumably) time to filter it down to the good stuff.

4. Now....public domain is useful of course, but I feel a biiit weird about the way things are described on the FreePD home page
It's not false information, like, PD stuff allows for you to not credit the artist, and sell stuff that isn't yours, but it puts a bad taste in my mouth to advertise that
