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.

Wouldn't it be more reasonable to have that kind of programs in non-US/main
or even in US/main?

They are DFSG compliant and it is legal to sell them everywhere _execept_
in the US. They are only affected by a US patent not recognized anywhere else.

Including them in non-free is breaking our policy in order to make life
of US CD-Rom manufacturers easier. I thought we were not working for
manufacturers... Not to say for US manufacturers...

Thanks,
