I thought that the only thing that made Debian non-free by FSF
definition is that they use the Linux kernel including binary blobs.
Therefor replacing the Linux kernel with FreeBSD's kernel would result
in a free system that the FSF would not recommend since the system would
still recommend non-free software be installed. Other than the kernel
are there non-free parts in Debian by FSF's definition?
