[Image description: A fox-woman wearing a dress the color of the Debian logo is being pulled by the sleeves on one side by a gnu man and on the other side bu a penguin. She has an annoyed expression.
The gnu man says: “Debian, why do you offer a non-free firmware repo?
You’re so close to being one of the few fully free distros…
Don’t you believe in free software?”

The penguin says: “Why isn’t the necessary firmware
installed by default ?
It’s such a pain when you install
and it can’t connect to network…
You’re so close to being practical,
Debian !” ]

    Hint: if the non-free firmware is necessary to make most systems work, Debian is not actually all that close to being completely free.
