This was followed by some well-meaning but very poorly # stated messages that enraged many Linux participants. # # After an interval of broken communications, Debian and FSF have resumed # cordial relations and are cooperating, even though FSF no longer has # the control over the project that came with their former sponsorship of # Debian, and Debian will _not_ ask for a resumption of sponsorship. Both # groups have decided that this should not keep us from working together, # and we are confident that we can mend any remaining Linux-FSF schism. # # What will come of this? And end to the annoying and useless "FSF vs. # Linux" net discussion. More support for Linux in GNU software, and more # support for FSF's goals in Linux software. # # To commemorate our decision that GNU and Linux should be partners, # we will resume use of the name "Debian GNU/Linux" for our system. # # Bruce Perens # # Debian Project Leader -- Please read <http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html> before mailing me.
