Welcome to this year's 26th issue of DWN, the weekly newsletter for
the Debian community. The South Australian government [1]discusses a
[2]bill that requires government departments to use Free Software
where practicable. British scientists found out that [3]debugging in
open source projects is always faster than in closed source projects.
Eben Moglen, legal advisor of the [4]Free Software Foundation
released a [5]paper in which he tries to correct confusing use of the
term "Linux".

More on European Software Patents. An article at ZDNet UK says that
the EU bureaucrats aren't even [28]considering the numerous
anti-software patenting opinions out there. According to a
well-connected lobbyist group, they have determined there will be
patents, and the only question is what kind.
