Yes Parkes is based on Squeeze.

gNewSense is endorsed by the FSF and has a strong commitment to not
include non-free software in its distribution[1].

Though Debian does not include non-free programs or firmware in its
main distribution, FSF says Debian still hosts non-free repositories
in its main servers[2], which folks can use to install non-free
programs.

Thanks.
