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 think that possible debian logos should not have a do-with-it-what-you-want-
ware license until they are discarded. We should take some care as to who or
what can use the official logo. Something like requiring that they contact
the project before using it so that we have some discretion as to who is 
allowed or maybe at least just know that somebody uses it.

I can't and do, of course, not go against the author's will but would like
to suggest that he reconsider or that we give some thought to this before
anything is decided. Once it's free and in the open, then anybody can use it 
and therefore, IMHO, is not valid as a logo anymore.

On another note, I thought the logo was to be decided before 2.0. Is this still
the case?

Luis.
