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: on the goal of debian

It is not my goal to pressure anyone into Debian's ideals of free
software. I am with the Debian project because I do want the best Unix
distribution and nothing else. The free nature of software is secondary to
that but naturally also an aspect of "best Unix distribution".

The Social Contract explicitly states that Debian is driven by the needs
of the users and the free software community. The free software community
includes a variety of approaches to licensing not only the GPL or our
acknowledged licenses.

4.Our Priorities are Our Users and Free Software

       We will be guided by the needs of our users and the free-software
community. We will place their interests first in
       our priorities. We will support the needs of our users for
operation in many different kinds of computing environment.
       We won't object to commercial software that is intended to run on
Debian systems, and we'll allow others to create
       value-added distributions containing both Debian and commercial
software, without any fee from us.
