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.

Before we go too crazy about this particular announcement, I think it
should be investigated a little more carefully by people more familiar
with legal matters.  Looking briefly at the orignal source of the
legal quote, it was unclear to me exactly what was being said
(surprise).  I could interpret it as either including or excluding
something like firewalling in the kernel.  I couldn't tell which
section was which, and didn't have the expertise or time to become
sure.

That's not to say that moving the distribution out of the US would be
a bad thing.  I'm not really excited about it since it's probably a
little more convenient for me having it here, but in the end, I want
what's best for the project.

Just wanted to make sure we were sure this is really a problem.
