The Debian Free Software Guidelines is a set of guidelines that the Debian Project uses to determine whether a software license is a free software license, which in turn is used to determine the section of the repository a piece of software enters. It has *nothing* to do with the rights of people making a derivative distribution. The same holds for the Free System Distribution Guidelines.

Your mapping between the sections of Debian's repositories and those of Ubuntu's is wrong. In particular, software in "universe" does not depend on nonfree software. It is not in "main" because Canonical Ltd. does not support it. That is the difference. See https://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/licensing

I agree with onpon4: please stop writing bullshit on this forum.
