You can use the Virtual RMS to find others:

aptitude show vrms
Description: virtual Richard M. Stallman
The vrms program will analyze the set of currently-installed packages on
a Debian GNU/Linux system, and report all of the packages from the
non-free tree which are currently installed.

The example you gave is in main, and as such qualifies as free software.
This is maybe a better one:
