Not just my opinion. Please see http://upsilon.cc/~zack/talks/2012/20121113-orange.pdf On page 1: Debian: a Free Operating System ------------------------------- and its Relationships with the Outer World ------------------------------------------ Stefano Zacchiroli Debian Project Leader 13 November 2012 Paris, France Orange — Open Source Group 2nd annual seminar On page 5: Debian: once upon a time ------------------------ 1st major distro developed “openly in the spirit of GNU” On page 6: 1/3 of Debian: the operating system ----------------------------------- flagship product: Debian stable Finally, on page 9: 1/3 of Debian: the Project -------------------------- Common goal: Create the best, Free operating system. Is this authoritative enough?
