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.

Re: new definition of non-free

While I do agree that there's no point in keeping contrib and non-free
separate on the archive if our official CD will not carry them, I am
concerned with the strictness of your policy:

I think there are a fair number of packages which are free, but depend
or recommend non-free or non-US packages (for example all the programs
that work with pgp).

Whether we do decide to merge contrib into non-free, I really think we
need another directory in non-free - copyrights, which contains the
copyright files out of each package.  I can very easily do this
automatically.  Even better is someone (Vitamin D obviously) would
periodically review all those copyrights and summarize the
restrictions in one file.
