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.

That's sort of my point.

RPM is currently free, although of course Red Hat could choose to diverge
into a non-free version at any time.

You know, there's a funny thing about Slackware. Their programs are old,
they have no packaging system, and still more people run it than any other
distribution. This leads me to think we're working on the wrong issues.
