The Debian project provides the Debian operating system for free and
provides technical support for free by volunteers. In addition, there
are a number of people and companies providing paid support for Debian.

Outside Debian there are companies producing operating systems based on
Debian and providing commercial support for those operating systems,
probably the biggest example is Ubuntu provided by Canonical:

Debian releases have normal security support for one year after the
following release and releases occur approximately every two years, so
Debian releases have approximately three years of security support. The
Debian LTS effort aims to extend the security support available to each
Debian release to at least 5 years. The LTS project is done using
funding contributed by the Freexian company, but their efforts are
distributed for free. Outside of Debian, Freexian extends security
support for Debian releases to up to 10 years. The ELTS results are
distributed for free, but only customers can choose what is supported.
