The release of sarge stable just comes up some weeks before European

I guess a lot of packages from sarge are made from gnu projects that
could be really endanger.
If some projects are attacked by lawyers and have to close down,
what happen to the current packages made from these apps?
Does sarge just got released to let people have the last chance to
get a decent debian distribution?
This sucks

Consternation.
"What is this dude doing? politics in a debian mailing list?"
If i had posted something like "kernel panic while rebooting", "VLC
can't read avi", "xine doesn't work", "samba : how to mount windows
network share?", "how to mount ntfs ?". I would have had lot's of
replies......
But patents aren't really about software? Uh?
I guess there is some european debian users here : you're concerned
more than ever. Your favorite system, your favorite apps, your skills
and future jobs are in danger.
Why spend time getting more skills on a system which might die?

Why be a fear-monger? We have software patents in the US but debian
hums happily along.
Also insulting the list that you want discussion from won't win you many
friends.
