Debian is teaching nothing. It is providing a free service,
and a free OS. It also provides some ancillary non-free software as
a service to our users who may want such.
If you think that classification of what we want to provide
for free, and freely, to our users is preaching, well, you are
entitled to your opinion. Ranting at the people who are providing
such a service may be boorish, but is your right. My attention is
not.
