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.

Absolutely. But there you have the catch 22 situation: If I were
sure the Gnuplot authors were never to allow distribute modified
binaries, I'd have much more insentive to start and write the
replacement. But I'm pretty sure that if I do write it (and
am say half-way, i.e. have something much worse than gnuplot now),
the gnuplot authors will change the license, and thus the countless
hours I spend writing my replacement are all waisted (essentially, 
anyway). So, to prevent waisting my time, I don't intend to write
a replacement, and thus the gnuplot licence stays the same :(
