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 problem in this case is that the gated consortium wants the license
exactly to insure that the software stays free and that changes make it
back to them.

They are on our side. And we are fighting our friends and allies.

Maybe you should read the gated license?

Gated definitely is a big plus for Debian and is distributed in the spirit
of free software. We should support them and not fight them.
