I understand that the solution will be always to use free( Open Source/Public Domain) stuff instead of Propietery stuff.

But in the cases where there is still not something free, is there is a list of companies which is fine with pirating their products aka don't issue DMCA request whenever they see their products getting pirated?

    I can't, I forgot most of it. But a little search returned some results:

    But it's also true that sometimes it's not done with a pro-piracy stance but they would just rather have it pirated than bought through key-resellers as these can hurt indy-game dev a lot.
