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.

Re: qt license

They have already been asked and will not. The restriction is there to
protect their revenue stream. They are a commercial company and their
income comes from selling the Qt toolkit.

Well, Debian's OK with changing the name of a modified program if the license
requires it, but we are definitely not OK with licenses that prohibit
modification.

I don't believe we can come to an accomodation with Troll Tech until
they put a straight GPL (or another acceptable license) on their library,
or until someone else comes out with a GPL-ed version, or until it is
obosleted by other software.

I went through the GTK tutorial yesterday. It's really quite good. I don't
know why anyone would be interested in Qt in contrast to GTK.

	Thanks
