How so?? Legally, Debian has the legal stance of a "Club". It is not a
for-profit with Corporate Responsibilities towards share holders and/or
the Government, who authorizes and spells out the said protections and
responsibilities of a Legally Incorporated Corporation.
Who would you sue for relief?? A "club"?? Membership is free, you are
free to come and go at any time, there are no restrictions to your
freedom to belong to this "club" or not. You are free to boot Debian and
use it, or pound sand, since there is no financial investment on the
members of the "Club" where membership is completely and expressly
voluntary.
So, what would you allege as abuse to yourself, since the members of the
technical steering committee followed the letter of the Debian technical
committee rules? They had the power to decide and they did.
My old attorney in Texas told me that he "would sue anybody for
anything". once I dropped 5 grand on the table ...in advance. If you
have 5 grand to blow, I'll give you his name. I know he will take your
money, ...no doubt at all. Ric
