Yes, and then it clarifies precisely what it means when it says "Debian"
-- "the Debian GNU/Linux Distribution". Right there. In those words.
If you were to do likewise every time you make the claim that non-free

on others' behalfs. As it is, you're just contributing to the confusion,
and a hypocrite to boot.
