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: CALL FOR VOTES: First of two votes on social contract

I tripped over two items.

I fully agree with this part:
>We will contribute to the free software world. 

However, "When we write new software, we will license it as free
software" implies that even what we write on our "day job" has to be
free.  A lot of us can't afford that.  Can this sentence be dropped?


The other nit was here:
>5. The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in
>   source as well as binary form.

A perl script "includes" its own source code, but hardly any C
program does.  I think what we really want here is what the GNU GPL
'says - that users "receive or can get the source code".   I suggest
something like this:

5. The program's source code must be available, and distribution in
source as well as binary form must be permitted.
