+ <description><p>A few weeks ago the French paperback edition of Lawrence Lessigs
+2004 book Cultura Libre was published. Today I noticed that the book
+is now available from book stores. You can now buy it from
+<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Culture-Libre-French-Lawrence-Lessig/dp/8269018260">Amazon</a>
+($19.99),
+<a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/culture-libre-lawrence-lessig/1123776705">Barnes
+& Noble</a> ($?) and as always from
+<a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/culture-libre/paperback/product-22645082.html">Lulu.com</a>
+($19.99). The revenue is donated to the Creative Commons project. If
+you buy from Lulu.com, they currently get $10.59, while if you buy
+from one of the book stores most of the revenue go to the book store
+and the Creative Commons project get much (not sure how much
+less).</p>
+
+<p>I was a bit surprised to discover that there is a kindle edition
+sold by Amazon Digital Services LLC on Amazon. Not quite sure how
+that edition was created, but if you want to download a electronic
+edition (PDF, EPUB, Mobi) generated from the same files used to create
+the paperback edition, they are
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">available
+from github</a>.</p>

- <title>One in two hundred Debian users using ZFS on Linux?</title>

- <description><p>Just for fun I had a look at the popcon number of ZFS related
-packages in Debian, and was quite surprised with what I found. I use
-ZFS myself at home, but did not really expect many others to do so.
-But I might be wrong.</p>
-
-<p>According to
-<a href="https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=spl-linux">the popcon
-results for spl-linux</a>, there are 1019 Debian installations, or
-0.53% of the population, with the package installed. As far as I know
-the only use of the spl-linux package is as a support library for ZFS
-on Linux, so I use it here as proxy for measuring the number of ZFS
-installation on Linux in Debian. In the kFreeBSD variant of Debian
-the ZFS feature is already available, and there
-<a href="https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=zfsutils">the popcon
-results for zfsutils</a> show 1625 Debian installations or 0.84% of
-the population. So I guess I am not alone in using ZFS on Debian.</p>
-
-<p>But even though the Debian project leader Lucas Nussbaum
-<a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/04/msg00006.html">announced
-in April 2015</a> that the legal obstacles blocking ZFS on Debian were
-cleared, the package is still not in Debian. The package is again in
-the NEW queue. Several uploads have been rejected so far because the
-debian/copyright file was incomplete or wrong, but there is no reason
-to give up. The current status can be seen on
-<a href="https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-zfsonlinux-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org">the
-team status page</a>, and
-<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-zfsonlinux/zfs.git">the
-source code</a> is available on Alioth.</p>
-
-<p>As I want ZFS to be included in next version of Debian to make sure
-my home server can function in the future using only official Debian
-packages, and the current blocker is to get the debian/copyright file
-accepted by the FTP masters in Debian, I decided a while back to try
-to help out the team. This was the background for my blog post about
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Creating__updating_and_checking_debian_copyright_semi_automatically.html">creating,
-updating and checking debian/copyright semi-automatically</a>, and I
-used the techniques I explored there to try to find any errors in the
-copyright file. It is not very easy to check every one of the around
-2000 files in the source package, but I hope we this time got it
-right. If you want to help out, check out the git source and try to
-find missing entries in the debian/copyright file.</p>
