I suspect the non-free bits are the "restricted" modules etc - 

apt-cache depends linux-386

[ snip]
Depends: linux-image-386, linux-restricted-modules-386

 So if you want to be "RMS pure", don't use linux-386, just install the
image.. Of course, what that might do to the functionality of the machine
is another question, depending on hardware.
