Nowadays it is customary to cite software. It is even required in an increasing number of settings, in particular reproducible science. Debian publishes a software distribution, which can certainly be cited. It is not quite relevant to Debian, but when asking for a grant, your software having citations really helps, whether it is 10, 100 or 1000. I would just write [1] Debian GNU/Linux, version 12.7, the Debian project, https://www.debian.org Cheers, -- Bill. <[email protected]> Imagine a large red swirl here.
