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.

If you are referring to:

  ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/qmail/dist.html

I don't think that counts.  It relies on US law to grant permission to 
compile, use and modify the software, so if you are living in a country that 
has different laws you have no idea what rights:

 a) Dan intended to grant you

or

 b) You are entitled to by way of local law merged with his partial licence.

If you are referring to some other licence for qmail, please mail me a copy or 
a reference.

It is really winding me up that I don't know if I even have the right to 
uncompress qmail-1.01.tar.gz, let alone use it.   :-[

Cheers, Phil.
