To make it clear: "Free" only applies to the contents of the Debian
operating system.
For the question at hand:
In the past we *have* asked everyone to register, even if they only
come for a day of DebConf. Debian Day events have been handled
separately, and we have gone between having no registration and
voluntary/advisory registration. When front desk has interacted with
non-registered people, we have asked them to register themselves on-site
(still via penta).
In some years, DebConf badges have been required to enter the
conference venue. This is not a stupid requirement, given the large
amount of electronics around, and the fact that attendees often leave
their laptops unattended (even when we have asked them not to). I'm
sure there are no thieves in Switzerland, but equally in the Le Camp
setup attendees will be even more likely than usual to assume that only
bona fide attendees are present on site and leave expensive items around
in the accommodation buildings and other areas.
