This page says it's GPL
https://launchpad.net/trinity-desktop

This one says it's free software
http://www.trinitydesktop.org/

The Contributors tab at the second website lists some mirrors. If you dig down in the first mirror (and probably the others) there are sources:

http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.13/debian/dists/lenny/main/source/

Is that enough to make it free?

Trinity is a fork of KDE 3.5, so unless there were proprietary components in that version of KDE, there ought to not be any proprietary components in Trinity.

They seem to have live CDs available. Other than the Debian based probably have the vanilla Linux kernel with non-free blobs and all.

Besides that it's probably clean.
