"Cease and desist orders" for distributing Debian a prank

"Cease and desist orders" for distributing Debian is a prank

Currently the case of an alleged "cease and desist order" received by a German Debian user is causing quite a stir. In a faked lawyer's letter the user was accused of violating the rights of a Dutch company by distributing the Debian operating system via bittorrent.

It has now turned out that the "cease and desist order" was a bad prank, and that the accusation as well as the Dutch company were made up. Parallel investigations by the Debian Project had also resulted in the conclusion that the Debian Project doesn't and never did distribute any works of the (imaginary) Dutch company.

Adrian was one of the founding members and current secretary of debian.ch, he sparked many ideas that made Debian Switzerland be what it is today. Adrian also actively maintained software in the Debian package archive, and represented the project at numerous events. Even to those, who haven't worked with him directly, he was well known for his sometimes thoughtful, sometimes funny blog posts.
