You can obtain and install Debian from our download page, no permission or introduction is needed to do that: https://www.debian.org/download If you are thinking about creating a new distribution based on Debian, I would encourage you to contribute to Debian instead of creating a new distribution. There are many different ways to help out: https://www.debian.org/intro/help -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
