Non-free content is Teflpedia content that is not free, by the definitions of the licence.
Currently, unlike some other wikis, Teflpedia does not have non-free content. This may change in the future.
The most obvious candidates for non-free media content are book covers, album covers, corporate logos, very short excerpts of copyrighted music. Using these is covered by “fair use” provision under United States copyright law, but this does not apply to other jurisdictions. This creates a hypothetical legal problem if someone who is not in the United States wishes to reuse the material. That said, however, the likelihood of a company or person suing anyone for copyright infringement over something so minor is extremely unlikely.
The other Wiki has a big page on this.[1]
