Debian is optionally free. You have the main repository which becomes enabled, the contrib repository (free software dependent on non-free software) which comes disabled, and the non-free repository, which is self explanatory, is also disabled. Their installation asks you if you want to enable proprietary firmware in the kernel if they think you need it. Just say no.

Other than that, the DFSG (Debian Free Software Guidelines) approves Artistic License 1.0 which is considered non-free by the FSF.
