Also, as you can see in the link I posted above, those are not part of Debian project.
Those repos are hosted at debian.org and official documentation at debian.org recommends adding those repos and using proprietary software, even when free software is avaiable (see Atheros firmware)
"Firmware is required, which can be provided by installing the firmware-atheros package"
and only after, "Open firmware for this driver is also available." (also notice "open")
"Installation: Add a "non-free" component to /etc/apt/sources.list, for example: http://http.debian.net/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free"
That's why Debian is not a free distribution, it's a corrupt distribution like most of the GNU+Linux distributions out there. And just like corrupt politicians, they pretend to be ethical and they make efforts to improve their public image to get rid of the critics, without solving the real problem: their corruption. They just improve the presentation, but the substance is still the same. In Romanian this is called "formă fără fond".
