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.

I'm sorry - I didn't mean to sound severe in that particular posting.

We don't want to sign that contract for the project because we stand
for something that is in conflict with signing the contract. Thus, it
would indeed be more appropriate for you to sign the contract, and do
the distribution through this "supplementary CD" that Shaya is talking
about. It has to be understood that the supplementatry CD is not Debian,
but people can shrink-wrap it with Debian if they want.

Building the official CDs is no big deal. I just asked for mirrors and
got them, and I run the scripts and test the CD (you can do it on a disk
ISO filesystem if you don't want to write a real CD) and I upload it
(I use a Jaz disk to move the file to Pixar where they have good net
throughput) and people press it and sell it. They made the labels on their
own. I don't think a CD for nonfree stuff would be more difficult.

I think it's time for the people who want this stuff on CD to put their
money where their mouth is. Don't argue about it all day just because you
want _me_ to do the work - do it yourself!

	Thanks
