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.

Seems to me like you are misinformed or confusing Unifix with
Lasermoon.  Unifix is still in business and developing their product.
The last update of their web site is from Jan 27, 1997.  The same day
they started shipping the 2.0.28 kernel.

BTW. Could you explain why an IEEE standard could be "non-open" and
why it should affect us.  It didn't bother us when we started to look
for POSIX.1 and POSIX.2 compatibility and it, IMHO, shouldn't bother
us too much now.
