Re: [Trisquel-users] After version 6, Trisquel is moving to LTS only releases.

Yes, Debian is 'optionally' free. It is not endorsed by the FSF because they  
make it easy to renounce your freedom right in the installer (by asking you  
if you want to install proprietary firmware for your hardware if it needs  
it), and by including an official repository for non-free software. If you  
agree to not install proprietary firmware and not enable the repository, you  
are not using proprietary software.

Debian Wheezy, which statistics predict to be released in May, will have  
newer software than Ubuntu 12.04 (except some critical backports like kernel  
and xorg). Basing Trisquel on Squeeze would be insanity by this point.
