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.

Uh? The KDE people are free to choose a non-DFSG-complaint library for
their project, but we are not free to promote the desktop environment (DE)
we prefer, that is also the one which is DFSG-complaint? What should we
do then? Adopt their fine work? So weird.

What is there to be corrected? The fact that we can't adopt a non-DFSG
DE as our preferred one? The projects we choose to support? I'm a bit
puzzled by your request.

(Remember, some people here have felt insulted because the distribution
choosen for that Qt-champion product was Debian. But that's how _free_
software works! You are free to use it the way you like best, even if
doing so is dangerous to the same free software movement that provides
it. Perhaps the KDE people should think a bit about that before trying
to be _the_ Linux Desktop Enviroment).

Just MHO, of course.
