Yes, Debian and GNU have different views... but why would they be forced to express views they do not share?! Parabola's views are in agreement with the "your-freedom" package (which incidentally are GNU's too, not Debian's).

Do you also complain that GNU "censors" distributions by only listing the ones they approve? Am I censoring most GNU/Linux distributions because I decided not to cite them in my post (and so do you)? I could easily reach the Godwin point by switching topic... :-)

The freedom of speech is the freedom to express one's opinions and certainly not the obligation to express other's opinions! You can take any dictionary you want to check. For instance: the right of people to express *their* opinions publicly without governmental interference, subject to the laws against libel, incitement to violence or rebellion, etc.

Besides, you do not understand what the misnamed 'vrms' package does: it only checks from what Debian repository a package comes from. It is perfectly useless to know the "freedom status" of software installed from PPA or compiled by hand.
