that makes a little more sense, though debian is not as strict as fedora about propietary software (it is in the separate nonfree section, but that's it)

I don't think nonfree is enabled by default. Though I guess the repos are still hosted by debian, unlike RPMFusion. Though Fedora does treat it as semi-official given that parts of it can be enabled during first setup.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
