Re: [Trisquel-users] is Debian GNU/Hurd free?

[jason]

The Debian distros can be used in freedom if you're careful. The FSF won't  
put their name on it though since it's conditional (if you're careful) and  
because they have issues with what the project behind the distro is doing  
(distributing proprietary software as a side activity) and they don't seem to  
see an easy way to draw a line between "Debian-the-distro" and  
"Debian-the-project-behind-the-distro" - See their explanation for Debian at  
https://gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html
