That is a good idea. The document now gives the impression that using
Debian is good for freedom. It is important to make it clear in each

I can't bear this flamewar FSF vs Debian : Debian have a really clear
policy on what software freedom is (DFSG guidelines), and have contrary
to any other linux distro a "clearly separated on freedom basis"
distribution model : free, contrib and non-free (non-us has disappeared
for years but was even more a user freedom against US crypto restrictions).
Debian offers to it's users the choice on what they want/don't want to
use (or they are in obligation to use, as some non-free kernel blobs),
and debian-legal is active in case of doubt.
And "main", made exclusively of free software, is the only active by
default.
I suspect FSF to point-out Debian because FSF itself have a non-free
licence regarding DFSG.
