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.

Huumm, my informations are 20-years aged, but I remember having studied
that patents restrict use of a "manufacturing process" only to
commercial manifacturers (read concurrent to the patent holder), and NOT
to single persons or educational organizations.

But I may be wrong ...
