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.

Re: non-profit status in Europe

Probably. Of course we in the states can't help you with the legal details :-)

In our case the incorporation comes from New York State, the tax status comes
from the (federal) Internal Revenue Service. You may find that you have to
incorporate in one nation and get tax status from a number of nations
individually. Hopefully there is some convergence in EU tax codes.

> It might be important for protecting the Debian name and logo in Europe

I think there is a trademark treaty between the U.S. and EU countries that
may protect us, but I have yet to investigate that.

	Thanks
