As explained months ago in
http://mailman.fsfeurope.org/pipermail/discussion/2006-February/005538.html
comparing ftp.debian.org with ftp.ibiblio.org is more accurate,
as the debian.org and gnu.org name policies are different.
The main GNU ftp server also distributes non-free software.

No more than GNU develops non-free software because some of its
developers also support non-free software.  That is, not at all.

Hope that explains,
