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.

Clarification: It's a patent problem, not a copyright problem. The
RSA algorithm is patented in the US, and you need a license to use
it. The RSAREF library, made by the patent holders, has a license,
pgp-i source code (using Zimmermann's own code) does not. But the
RSAREF license only allows non-commercial use.
