You mean like RedHat?
We're promising that our system will stay free -- that we won't at some
point in the future start making Debian depend on non-free installers
or any other such component.
The problem comes when people try and assume that this kind of freedom
means we aren't going to support any non-free software.
The biggest reason for that problem is that there isn't really any clear
term for distinguishing "the system" from "the supplements".
