Checking kernel freedom

Hello! I am new here.

Is there any easy way to know if the kernel of a distro I am using is
completely libre?

If I do
uname -r

I get:
4.19.54-amd64-vyos

I can also have a look at its source code at
https://github.com/vyos/vyos-kernel

but I do not know how to check if there is any non-free software in it.

Thank you!
