lembas: first of all I am not recommending anything. Period.
>If you install in expert mode, the Debian installer will ask you whether
you'd like to add contrib and non-free.
That's another pair of shoes.
>In Iceweasel if you goto where ever > addons > get addons, you get to the
Mozilla addons site which also hosts proprietary addons. Some addons don't
mention any license, some say proprietary.
Sure. But that is not "Iceweasel recommending the installation of crap".
Let's not mix words.
You can install a ton of proprietary software (addons included) on any fsf
approved or whatever libre distro you use. In fact the only important thing
is the firm rejection of any proprietary software, not the distro (browser
included) you use (as long as it is 100& libre).
>Debian the distro can be free if you know what you're doing and you're
careful. But it's not something you can recommend to ordinary people if you
care about their freedom. Also, Debian the project distributes proprietary
software.
Debian is by default as libre as Trisquel.
Again, where do you see me recommending Debian?
Please, do show me. :)
I am very familiar with both the articles you linked.
