Rogue members of the Debian ecosystem continue to spread untrue statements about expulsions.
It is easy to prove these expulsions are not only untrue but also impossible.
Debian is not an organization. Debian is simply a trademark. The US trademark database shows the trademark is registered to another organization, Software in the Public Interest, Inc.
Most Debian Developers, myself included, have never been members of Software in the Public Interest, Inc.
If we are not members and if we can not join, we can’t be expelled.
Imagine making a movie and then removing the names of some people from the credits and putting other names in their place. Is that “expulsion”? Or is that simply stealing credit for somebody else’s work? Removing names from the list of Debian Developers is much like removing somebody’s name from the credits in a movie. It is wrong. █
