Welcome to this year's 9th issue of DWN, the weekly newsletter for the

which is a new record for Linux. After [2]OASIS, of which Debian is a
member, has accepted a patent policy that has bad consequences on
implementation of the standards, John Goerzen [3]called for support
for an open letter.

Welcome to this year's 12th issue of DWN, the weekly newsletter for
the Debian community. The [1]proposal from the meeting of release and
ftpmaster teams was discussed controversial on the [2]debian-devel
list by many developers with more than 1000 mails. Many people don't
appreciate to drop several architectures since supporting them was one
big benefit of the Debian system.

Restricting the License to GPLv2. Daniel Carrera [3]pondered about
the restriction of the Linux kernel to version 2 of the GNU
[4]General Public License. Looking at the large number of
contributors, this would make it nearly impossible to migrate to
version 3 when it is available. Matthew Palmer [5]fears for a lot of
unpleasant forking action when the new license doesn't look like what
developers expect.
