The actual script used by Builder (the distribution generator gnewsense
uses) is
http://svn.gnewsense.svnhopper.net/filedetails.php?repname=gNewSense&path=%2Fbuilder%2Ftrunk%2Fgen-kernel
. That script was made by hand by the devs (for which I am very
grateful), but I believe a heuristic (32 numerical constants in a row)
script
(http://svn.gnewsense.svnhopper.net/filedetails.php?repname=gNewSense&path=%2Fbuilder%2Ftrunk%2Ffirmware%2Ffind-firmware)
is used to start. Then, someone has to go through this list and find
false positives. The process is obviously imperfect.

You can probably run gen-kernel on them without /much/ trouble.
I had a quick attempt at the Etch kernel (which nothing is likely to
come of). A good bit has changed and there are new non-free blobs in
there. So it'll probably work, but won't remove all the non-free
stuff. YMMV.
