And yet, Debian isn't "Free" by the FSF guidelines.

Resisting the binary blob -> Debian Posted Nov 14, 2006 21:34 UTC (Tue) by hmh (subscriber, #3838) [Link] That's only fair given that Debian doesn't consider a lot of the recent stuff from the FSF "free" either. RMS doesn't like the non-free archive the Debian project keeps, and Debian doesn't "like" the DFSG-incompatible stuff the GNU project ships.
The GFDL did more to keep the "non-free" .deb archive and support structure alive within Debian than anything else ever did, IMO... Talks within Debian about decomissioning non-free have gone silent for a while now, AFAIK. IMHO, too much important stuff lives in non-free currently to even consider doing that, thanks to the GFDL.
