It is based on Debian (Droidian to be specific I believe), which to me reads as a fork or maybe a distro flavor with out of the box tweaks to specifically work with the hardware they are selling.
They say they aren't stopping you from installing anything else you want on the phone, they just aren't going to offer help getting a different OS to work, which is reasonable to me.
