> Debian is kind of right in their assessment

There really isn't a 'kind of right' here, it is either Free (which Debian clearly defines) or it is not. It is not, so it has got to go.

Debian doesn't care about 'people being pissed off' because they are a non-commercial distro that is committed to staying 'Free'. Principles are what the whole project is about.

This is the type of thing that happens when you try to be cute with something that has a legal meaning.
