The Debian Project does not sell proprietary software.

Following general sentiment when it was founded, the project
does not sell any software, although there have been recent
moves to change that, most notably from some of the CD Images
production team.  The CD Images don't contain proprietary
software either, so even if selling starts, the Debian Project
still won't necessarily sell non-free.  Although if the pro-FSF
proportion of developers keeps shrinking, anything's possible.

Hope that explains,
