No, Debian does not have a monopoly on what's free. But on
Debian's site Debian's definition holds.
Different people have very different interpretations on what
is free, or almost free. Lots of people shall tell you that internet
explorer is free, since it costs you nothing to acquire it. And
Netscape is almost free, since $49 is a pittance. And adobe photoshop
is a steal at $500, compared to what Bruce uses at work (I
think). One has to draw a line somewhere.
Debians line in the sand is called the DFSG.
