("It doesn't prevent Debian from distributing something other than
software" would be correct.)
Perhaps this is in fact the source of your confusion. The phrase
"Debian will remain 100% Free Software", interpreted by a fluent English
speaker, means one of the following:
100% of Debian is (and will remain) "Free Software"
Debian is (and will remain) "Software", and that Software is "100% Free"
Practically, the difference between these is not significant, although the
second interpretation is a little bizarre.
Your interpretation is:
100% of the Software in Debian will remain Free
That's simply not a correct interpretation. However, I could understand if
someone who was not fluent in English misinterpreted it that way.
