Translations:Essays:Why the FSF does not consider Debian as a free distribution/55/en
The first point says: «Debian will remain 100% free. We provide the guidelines that we use to determine if a work is "free" in the document entitled "The Debian Free Software Guidelines". We promise that the Debian system and all its components will be free according to these guidelines. We will support people who create or use both free and non-free works on Debian. We will never make the system require the use of a non-free component.»
