Isn't Nix and Guix definition the same? And you just have to include the non-free on both?

No, they are very different. Not unexpectedly, because Guix is not a fork of Nix.

They start to look similar at the level of compiled derivations, but even the builder scripts are different: in Guix they are compiled Guile scripts whereas in Nix they are Bash scripts.
