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.

	The licence effictively prevents you from porting it to other
 windowing systems; this is not my idea of free.

	Huh? I couldn't run it under Wine/Wabi? why not? It would
 certainly meet the definition of free.

	Why this sudden surge to dilute the Debian social contract and
 blur our stand on non-free?
