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.

Put it this way, according to the Bulletin, the FSF tried to contact UoW,
to clarify the copyright issues.  UoW didn't want to change it.  Therefore
FSF decided to put together a "free pine" team.  It seems that UoW will
enforce the license to the T, even if the developers say otherwise.  Then
again, I might have misunderstood the bulletin, but I didn't think so.
