Depending on the semantics of "no nonfree", that is not necessarily
the case. For instance, the linux-image-2.6.xx-foo packages still
distribute modules compiled from source termed by Debian to be
non-DFSG-Free (Debian #483918). In Lucid:

$ dlocate snd-|egrep '(ymf|maestro|korg1212|cs46xx)'
linux-image-2.6.32-19-generic:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-19-generic/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.ko
linux-image-2.6.32-19-generic:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-19-generic/kernel/sound/pci/korg1212/snd-korg1212.ko
linux-image-2.6.32-19-generic:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-19-generic/kernel/sound/pci/snd-maestro3.ko
linux-image-2.6.32-19-generic:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-19-generic/kernel/sound/pci/ymfpci/snd-ymfpci.ko
