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.

I suspect that the existance of the Troll Tech license is what keeps them
from declaring support for any replacement (free or otherwise) to Qt. The
fact that they say that they would use a replacement is more encouraging
than silence given that more encouraging statements may not be possible
within their contractual agreements. We should view the KDE developers as
several of the victims in this situation, rather than grouping them with
the perp's.

Luck,
