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.

Actually, Qt might want to use the LGPL, the GNU Library General
Public License.

We also don't require that only the GPL can be used.  There are indeed
other freeware licenses that Debian allows.  But, they are usually
less restrictive than the GPL (for example, the BSD license).  I doubt
Qt would use one of them.
