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.

Non-free packages and CD distribution

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Okay, I'm getting a tad sick of hearing the discussion about moving
non-free stuff that is CD distributable into contrib.  I personally agree
with Bruce that we need to make a clear statement to the world, and to the
authors of these non-free packages, that they aren't doing themselves any
good by gratuitous restrictions on modification and distribution. 

However, I also agree that it would be convenient for lots of people,
myself included, for those packages in non-free which can be redistributed
on CD to be available on CD.  This may include those packages which we
gain a special exemption from the author to have them distributed as part
of Debian (zip/unzip, et.al.).  So I'm actually going to get back to work
on the "Distribution Notes for Non-Free Packages" paper that I volunteered
to work on some time ago, but got bogged down in work.

Any thoughts anyone has would be appreciated.  Minor thought, should we
move this discussion to debian-devel?
