This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.8.6.1
---------------
ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.8.6.1) groovy; urgency=medium
* UbuntuDrivers/detect.py:
- Assume the NVIDIA packages to be non-free (LP: #1899630).
* gpu-manager.{c|py}:
- Handle the xorg conf file in all supported PRIME
scenarios (LP: #1900137).
* tests/test_ubuntu_drivers.py,
tests/gpu-manager.py:
- Expect a xorg conf file to be created in on-demand
mode (11-nvidia-offload.conf) in the test suite.
- Fix test cases now that nvidia is marked as non-free.

Title:
Nvidia driver is marked as "free" on first installation before "apt
update"
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
This may be a duplicate of bug #1514057 (close it in case), but
without any PPA and just after installing Ubuntu in a new partition.
Followed this ISO testing script (so installed without connection):

Once installed, I noticed the nvidia driver was marked as "free":
