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.

Isn't there a contradiction there?  Debian is, in fact, a binary
distribution.  If the author disallows modified binaries than we are
not allowed to put it anywhere - neither main, contrib, nor non-free.

I hope you don't want to get into the semantics of "modify".
