In my honest opinion: No. We can not prevent this. All we can do is to provide a list of *official* channels. Beyond that I don't think we should try to regulate what's in an unofficial channel and what's allowed.
+1The 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.
