It’s been a relatively quiet few days on the Linux blogs, but that didn’t stop geeks from taking time out last Sunday to wish Debian a happy birthday.

There were several other low-key discussions on the Linux blogs in recent days, but perhaps none so widely discussed as whether there’s any point to GPLv2 libraries.
