non-free packages should have some indicator (in description or what-have-you) of why they don't follow DFSG so that CD vendors and all others conserned know why they're not in main.

vrms can give you a list of non-free packages installed on your
system. dpkg output can tell you if something is non-free or not.
On top of all that, you can read the copyright in
/usr/share/doc/${package}/copyright
If that's not enough.. goto packages.debian.org and search for the
package you want info on, it will note '[non-free]' if it is
non-free.
