Yes. I understand. If by "distribution" a person means "the whole set of

Nonfree software cannot be trustworthy. Without an access to the source code,

I don't agree with that.
Ubuntu and the likes... Yes. They, obviously, don't care about the Freedom

In Debian's case, I think they're just being pragmatical.

Regardless of that, some people *need* nonfree software. Debian with nonfree
software is better than full nonfree operating system: one step towards right

I understand what you're saying, but such a distro that is distributing

Debian GNU/Linux is labeled as free software operating system. However, I do

Right. We can look at the hardware blueprints as the source code. And its
