There's a packaged program called VRMS on Debian-based distros, so if you're running Debian, Ubuntu or one of their ilk then go ahead and apt-get install vrms.
It's a program that, when run in the terminal, will tell you what non-free software is installed on your machine, so the discomfort of FSF supporters everywhere.
The name stands for Virtual Richard M Stallman, naturally, and it's an amusing one-note Linux program. It won't spice up your desktop or even make you want to use gNewSense instead, but it will make you smirk for a few brief seconds.
