Debian has code that is licensed under many different licenses, from the ASL to the GPL to the LGPL and many more. For almost every component, you can see the license by reading /usr/share/doc/<packagename>/copyright or visiting http://packages.debian.org/<packagename> and clicking on the copyright link near the bottom. All of the works that are present in Debian must comply with the Debian Free Software Guidelines which are delineated here: http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines If this doesn't answer your question, feel free to e-mail -project again, or ask me directly.
