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.

It doesn't matter whether it's the license or some other legal fiction
that creates the restriction. It is the distribution restriction that
categorizes the package as non-free. The source of that restriction is
different in the case of non-us, but no less sufficient to make the
packages non-free. The other difference between the two is that we have
some hope of changing an author's idea of proper copyright, I see no hope
of changing the ignorant behavior of the government.

Luck,
