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.

You are confusing "free" and "zero cost" with "free" and "liberated".

Some existing standards are free -- anyone can implement them.  POSIX
is a good example.  Just because you have to pay to get the text is
no reason to not use them.  I'm not saying that it wouldn't be great
to have all of the POSIX standards on the web.

BTW, I know of one free standard from the free software community,
the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (previously, the Linux Filesystem
Standard).
