I actually clicked the link.
It takes me to a page titled "Introcuccion a Debian", which opens with :
"Que es Debian ?"
"Debian es un sistema operativo (SO) libre, o "Open Source", para
"su computadora."
Libre ofcourse indicates free as in freedom.
Also : for someone who doesnt have much money,
the gratisness of Debian is probably an important part of its being 'libre'.
So what is this ? A joke ??
Who are you anyway ??
( and what do you have against a free bear ? )
