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.

Actually I'm working on a paper that describes the various copyright
situations of our non-free packages, with notes on the ones that are
possible canidates for CD inclusion and such.  The work is going slow,
mostly because I haven't had as much time at work where I have a T1 and
downloading packages to check their copyrights over a 33.6k modem isn't
fun.  Individual package maintainers of non-free stuff could help me
greatly by mailing me the copyright/distribution information of your
packages so I don't have to search it out.
