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.

Yes, this is fundamental diffrence. If a document states both goals and
methods to attain, they must be clearly separated. DFSG, IMHO only defines
*mehods* for Debian being technically superior, highly available,
maintainable, portable, open distribution. These are goals.

Criterium to put into main distribution only software
with non-discriminating licenses *serves* the goal to be highly available.

Thanks.

P.S. In your anaother post you mentioned that this list is in AOL mode.
Would you dare to explain that? I never used AOL and don't know what that
means.
