"vrms" package provide nice `vrms` command (and cron job) that print
all non-free packages installed.

If non-free package drop one line "reason file" named as a package
itself to "/usr/share/vrms/reasons/" then `vrms` will also print
contents of such file as explanation of what makes the package
non-free. IMHO the following fragment of `vrms` output show some good
examples of how this feature can be used in non-free packages:

    tar-doc                             documentation for the tar package
      Reason: GFDL with invariant cover texts

    bsdgames-nonfree                    rogue, the classic dungeon exploration 
game
      Reason: No commercial use

    cuneiform-common                    multi-language OCR system (common)
      Reason: No source code for linguistic data.

I hope this could be useful.

All the best,
 Dmitry Smirnov
