Ubuntu is part of the Linux community, as is OpenSUSE, as is I understand
Mandriva, as are several netbook OSes (e.g. Linpus Lite <shudder>), as
is.....
But Debian has made a policy decision to have only free software in its main
repository. Moreover, I would say that on the whole Debian appeals to people
who like to tinker, and do not like being told, in a manner that I at least
find patronising, what to do.
Many people do not like Debian's philosophy and do not use Debian. That
choice is open to you as to everyone else. If you are using Debian, you must
have made a conscious choice to do so. If you now find that you don't like
its philosophy, then by all means change to a distro whose philosophy chimes
with yours.
