The discussion is about what Debian chooses to distribute, not what users
choose to run. From the DFSG:
We won't object to commercial software that is intended to run on
Debian systems, and we'll allow others to create value-added
distributions containing both Debian and commercial software, without
any fee from us. To support these goals, we will provide an integrated
system of high-quality, 100% free software, with no legal restrictions
that would prevent these kinds of use.
The presence of non-free software on a user's system is none of our
concern, be it stored on disk or in ROMs.
