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.

This is easy to deal with. You issue a blanket license for anyone to do
certain things with the trademark. That license includes both what you can
do, and explicitly prohibits what you can not do, with the trademark. Anyone
who uses the trademark does so under the license, or is in violation. There is
no "selective enforcement".

There is no other legal mechanism for protecting a name, is there?
