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.

Remember that he lost. How? It was proven that the trademark was already
in use, though unregistered. I've seen this referred to as a "common law"
trademark. That usage was by a trademark search firm who looks for such
things when you are registering a trademark, though I suspect it could be
incorrect terminology. See www.iplawyers.com for information on the Linux(TM)
case.
