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.

Bruce, I was going through some old mail, and I came across this.  You
say, Qt is only free for X, yes that's true.  However, that's also all
they release the source code for.  So how could it be "free" for anything
else.  If Microsoft GPL'd the code for Internet Explorer for Linux, would
we not be able to include it because the Windows Version is not-free, at
least from a source code view.

Then again, their are other ways Qt isn't free.
