The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Sorry, Rahul and others, I didn't mean for that to come out that way.
I apologize.

I counseled Ian for a long time while he was working with/for RMS.
There was lots of complaints about inflexible demands, etc. I knew this
to be true from my own interaction with him - FSF has an agenda, and it's
very divergent from ours, and everything RMS does is to put forth that
agenda. If we were to cooperate at all, someone else would have to be
in charge of working with RMS - that's nothing that I'd want to do for free!

I think, for the long term, there should be a foundation that sponsors
software under the GPL, the BSD license, the LGPL, the ARTISTIC, or
public domain.  A big reason for the success of Linux is that we haven't
been quite so doctrinare about FSF's agenda.

	Thanks
