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.

Only if group B is producing Free Software, while group A is not. The
criterion isn't who we got the money from. We support Free Software, plain
and simple. This is our choice to make, not the one who donates the money.

KDE didn't donate the money, the product retailer did/will/might.

I would also like to point out that whether Debian was on the KDE cd as an
after thought, filler for the CD or whatever reason, I honestly don't
think that the offer of money would have come to us if Debian had not been
on the CD. So while I might agree that the CD was basically a KDE CD, it
was the Debian content that sparked the donation. Without Debian on the CD
there would certainly have been no contribution.

Luck,

Dwarf
