Please post the General Public license at the bottom of the page? I scripted my name on the license April 12 2020 and Debianized a package manager. Now theyre trying to cover it up with a bullshit license

Can you please be a little more specific: which package are you referring to?
* as a specifier is a bit too generic, I'm afraid.

You don't have to "sign" the GPL - in fact, the GPl version 2 explicitly says
that you are not obliged to accept it but you are obliged to abide by it if
you modify code and distribute the modifications.

Which package manager did you Debianise?

Who is "they" and what exactly are they trying to cover up?

All the very best,

Andy C.

Debianized - The package that Ian put together I unlocked it and he had me asign a package manager. I had 3 options and then I debianized them. I started recieving messages from every list in Debian and I seen Gnu.org messages and they were erased the package manager is trying to fuck me over and cliaming my shit. The package Ian set it up for someone to Publish it.

Ed,

Still no clue, I'm afraid. Unless you give me a specific package name in
Debian, I've no idea.

Receiving messages: Debian mailing lists are opt-in: unless you subscribe,
you won't normally receive them (although they are all available to read
in archive form via a web browser).

If you were looking to become a Debian maintainer or a Debian developer: how
did you go about this?

Without details, neither I nor likely anybody else can go any further.

All the very best, as ever,

Andy C.

well, based upon your language use here and general
attitude i'm not sure many people are going to be very
happy to help you.

cussing isn't going to help.

can you please be more specific about what you are
talking about?

what package? who is Ian? unlocked it? what is it?
asign a package manager? assign? ... *sigh*

can you give a pointer to a bug number or repository?
and cut the hostility and swearing, it just won't help
anything at all other than to encourage people to ignore
you.

I was guessing Ian Murdock, as in the "ian" part of Debian...

An observation about finding oneself signed up to lists they didn't
join, it happens to me. Without going political about it, it's about
violent criminal activity on my street in Georgia. It's about being
harassed by total strangers. Online as well as in meatspace.

Having gone through this, I have the kind of firsthand experience that
says an additional question is necessary.

WHEN did you have this contact with "Ian"?

Six or eight years ago?

Or... this week?

As asked before in some form, did he give you a last name? If it's
Murdock, what was the email address that was used?

Cindy :)
