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.

The more I look into this thing, the more I am puzzled: QT ships a
compiler (moc=meta object compiler) which is used to create build the
code for some methods that are decribed in the classes in the program's
code. That means that "part" of the code that the program compile on
"each" .o object file, is derived as output from a program included in
qt and licensed under its terms.

But when we package a binary statically linked to motif we put it in
contrib, while the same progr statically linked to lesstif would go to
main. The same apply to binaries linked to shared libs (I don't know if
the same executable can load libraries with different names).
Maibe we could put in main the sources of the progs in contrib?
