- fsflover 4y agoDebian does not clearly separate free and nonfree repositories. Users might be mislead into using nonfree packages without their knowledge/consent. I once was misled like this. Today, I am using Debian myself and avoid nonfree packages knowingly. However I am glad that FSF keeps reminding users about it. Note that they do not prohibit the usage of Debian. They just don't endorse it.
