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.

I think we need a special license from them, and we should ask for it.
Their main concern seems to be that modifications are returned to them.
As sharing software is the entire point of Linux, they should be
reassured on this point. If I had my druthers I'd ask for a BSD-style
license. If they are not willing to give us that, I'd ask for a license
that permitted unlimited redistribution with the Debian system, without
the need for each party to execute another agreement. That would still
leave the software in non-free.

There is a radio version of OSPF called RSPF. A lot of people questioned
the need for a separate protocol for radio, but I understand the reason
now. RSPF is not encumbered at all, and its implementations are GPL-ed.

	Thanks
