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.

Agreed.

Why "non-free"? We are not talking here about licenses that forbid
commercial distribution, are we? 

If I understood correctly our current policy, if we can distribute the
package containing modified binaries, and anyone can put that package 
in a CD and sell it, then it goes to "contrib", isn't it?
