Debian delivers on its promise: To get a 100% free software distribution from debian, get the official distribution by download or from any of the places listed on www.debian.org.
Then please explain what ftp.debian.org contains, I consider that a broken promise. That you simply state that `non-free' is not part of Debian is simply not true. If it isn't, remove it. I'll be quite a happy person when that happens, until that day, Debian GNU/Linux and ports are not 100% free software. You can't get a 100% free software distribution from GNU today. Of course you can't, the goal of the GNU project isn't to create a distribution. It is to create a system. And as it happens, you can get a version of the GNU system, two infact. > Does or does not ftp.debian.org carry non-free software?

You're playing silly DNS configuration games. ftp.debian.org (aka debian-mirror.cs.umn.edu) and ftp.gnu.org are not equivalent. If you compared that debian mirror with the main GNU mirror (ibiblio), you'd see that both carry non-free software. The only person playing willynilly games is you who cannot accept the plain truth that Debian does infact include non-free software.
