I would not say there are "many packages that are nonfree" in the 'main' repository and only the 'main' repository is configured on install. The official installer is free software. The kernels are consider compliant with the DFSG by Debian but I do not know if gNewSense consider them free or non-free software. However, there is more to it than that. AFAIK, gNewSense aims to create a "Free System Distribution" as defined in: http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html where as Debian aims to create a distribution given in the "set of commitments" of Debian Social Contract: http://www.debian.org/social_contract There is more information at http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/common-distros.html but I think the Debian entry needs to be redone. Mike.
