If you qualify it as "The Debian Distribution", nothing. If you qualify
it as "The Debian Project", the statement's wrong. Either interpretation
is reasonable and makes sense, but if one of the interpretations is
wrong, then it's daft to leave the ambiguity there if you're going to
change anything.

Which many would assume includes the pool/non-free directory that we
distribute from our ftp site.
