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.

I must admit the wording is not quite right and I don't know how to say
it better :-( I meant: we must be allowed to distribute the files we place
on our ftp server--that is, if we put a `.deb' there, we must be allowed
to distribute it, and if we put a `.diff+orig' there, we must be allowed
to distribute these files.

Of course, this should be known already, but some people here still think
that we may ship programs without a copyright statement, for example, we
is definitely illegal. 

Note, that the actual policy text will be different anyways.


Thanks,

Chris
