The best option in my opinion is to make it as easy as possible for 
users to find out the policy of any channel, and to do automatic 
filtering (for the day when there will be hundreds of channels to manage).

One simple measure would be a field in the channel description that says 
"complies with Guix' rules for free software yes/no". An added benefit: 
it forces channel designers to think about the question right from the 
start.
