    It is all properly licensed (CC-BY-SA mostly), though. And the FSF considers it Free Software. Yet Debian doesn't.

    @robmyers debian is free! the fsf server room, that goes to great lengths, to be "libre" uses it. BUT they don't recommend it?

    @thelastproject yes. debian should be on FSF's list of approved distro's. this is an issue! work/compromise on both sides is needed.

    Is the problem here that Debian is not an approved distro because it allows the installation of non-Free packages?

#Freesoftware

Primary audience

all, free software advocates, Linux users

Definition

Free software or software libre is software that guarantees the freedom to be used, studied, and modified without restriction, and the freedom to be copied and redistributed in modified or unmodified form either without restriction, or with minimal restrictions only to ensure that further recipients can also do these things and that manufacturers of consumer-facing hardware allow user modifications to their hardware. Free software in most cases is also available gratis (free of charge). However the focus of the term "free" is on freedom. R. Stallman summarised the difference in a slogan: "Think free as in free speech, not free beer."
