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.

why gated can't go in non-free

Gated can not go in non-free because we don't have permission to distribute
it. We could get permission by signing a contract, but we don't want to
sign the contract because if we did it would be difficult for us to
persuade the gated consortium to make their program free software.
If an outside group were to sign the contract and distribute gated,
we would have to maintain that they were the ones signing the contract
and not Debian, for the same reason. If we were supporting the program
it would be very difficult to convince anyone of that.

	Thanks
