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.

(c) problem.


I'm thinking about packaging SciTeXt, which has the following copyright:

---------------------
Everyone can use SciTeXt for free. We are still thinking about a copying 
license. Maybe we will use Artistic like perl does. 

      However, SciTeXt is not under the GNU Public License (but some parts).
The source is freely available, but we retain all rights to it, explicitely 
including the right to modify the source and to distribute modified versions.

      In plain English: If you modify the source, you are not supposed to 
release your patches to the public, but to leave it up to us to include it into the 
official distribution. This is simply meant to prevent chaos. Coordination
of such a large project with a lot of developers involved requires an 
enormous coordination effort, and we do not want to lose the view over it.
-------------------------


So would it go into unstable, non-free or contrib? I'm always confused by 
these copyright statements... _):
