Roland,


The difference is that many distributions are not sold just for a
nominal fee but for profit, like SuSE or RedHat.


I still don't get it:

* Debian considers the GPL a free license.  The GPL allows people to
  charge for the costs of making a copy.

The GPL does not place any restrictions on the amount you can charge for distribution (really, go check it, no "media only" clause in there). The L2H license does. debian can be sold for profit (as can any other distro, and frequently are) but the clause in the l2h license would prevent you from distributing it for profit. Most distros are less.. stringent than debian about licensing, they may distribute it anyway, debian won't.
