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 just sorted the packages from my last posting to give more info about
that. (Please note, that I didn't spend much time into interpreting the
details of the licenses, so some packages might be in the wrong section.)
Also note, that the "6 packages" are currently only 4 :-) since I put two
of them in the "to be removed section" now.

Here you go:

----- Packages without a clear license (has to be clarified or the
----- packages have to be removed)

devel/java-cup_0.10b-2.deb
devel/swig_1.1.b5.p2-1.deb
sound/xgmod_3.0.5-1.deb
utils/ferret_1.2.1-1.deb

----- Packages which have to be moved to non-free as of current policy:

devel/mysql-manual_0.80-1.deb
editors/nedit-?motif_4.0.3-1.deb
games/koules_1.3-2.deb
games/squake_1.07-1.0-3.deb
interpreters/swi-prolog_2.8.2-1.deb
math/xephem-smotif_3.0-1.deb
net/filerunner_2.2.1-1.deb
otherosfs/picasm_1.5-2.deb
x11/xforms*

----- Packages that are DFSG free and might go to main?

admin/logwrites_1.1-3.deb
sound/splay_0.5-2.deb
utils/compress-package_1.3-1.deb
utils/xosview_1.3.2-6.deb

----- non-DFSG packages in contrib, that will be moved to non-free if we
----- change policy (these 4 are the `famous 6 packages' :)

admin/npasswd-boulder_1.2.2-2.deb
net/circus_0.43-1.deb
shells/pash_2.2-1.deb
text/acroread_3.0-1.deb

----- DFSG compliant packages--these are fine in contrib

devel/ddd-dmotif*_2.1.1-2.deb
devel/kaffe_0.7.1-2.deb
devel/libkde0-dev_0.10.01-1.deb
devel/libkde0.9.00-dev_0.9.00-1.deb
games/abuse_2.00-1.deb
graphics/gimp-?motif_0.54.1-6.deb
graphics/gimp-plugins_1.0-1.deb
graphics/xtrkcad_1.2.0-1.deb
libs/libkde0.9.00_0.9.00-1.deb
libs/libkde0_0.10.01-1.deb
mail/pinepgp_2.1.deb
math/xldlas_0.85-1.deb
net/ftpwatch_1.2.deb
net/mrtg_2.2-1.deb
net/xirc_2.0-1.deb
net/xisp_2.1-1.deb
sound/festvox-{8,16}k_1-1.deb
text/lyx_0.10.7-3.deb
utils/xtar-?motif_1.4-2.deb
x11/kdeapps_0.10.01-2.deb
x11/metrox_3.1.2-1.deb



Please: Don't take any actions on this material. If we have decided on a
new policy, I'll check the licenses again with more care and file
non-maintainer bug reports for the packages in the wrong sections.


Anyways, since there are only 4 packages to be moved, I really don't see a
problem with changing the policy, to make all packages in contrib apply to
the DFSG too.


Comments? (I'm sure there will be comment :-)


Thanks,

Chris
