The comparison is disgusting.
Dr Preining spent many years packaging LaTeX without any payment from Debian or the people who use it Christmas 2018, he was removed from the Debian keyring: punished from doing the work that he was not paid for A few months later, he writes a forced confession Then he can continue to work without any payment from Debian Something odd about all that The US State Department writes about it here: https://www.state.gov/what-is-modern-slavery/ "psychological coercion, abuse of the legal process, deception, or other coercive means to compel someone to work" - sounds a lot like the Debian demotions blackmail, doesn't it? "Once a person’s labor is exploited by such means, the person’s prior consent to work for an employer is legally irrelevant: the employer is a trafficker and the employee a trafficking victim." _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list Discussion@lists.fsfellowship.eu https://lists.fsfellowship.eu/mailman/listinfo/discussion
