Yeah, I think that GNewSense is debian based, so its "only" a matter of pointing the apt-sources to anything debian-like that has any non-free stuff and type "apt-get install nonfree" and you are out of their favor. Which in my view, isn't very far from "install *BSD, download optional ports.tar.gz, go to non-free dir, optionally type make install". But for some reason, endorsements only cover one of those two "free until you deliberately choose to install x, and y, and then z"
