From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

From Vaxry's second blogpost:

However, it was brought to our attention apparently you have decided to take to posting about this to your blog.

I have full rights to do so, just like you apparently had the right to post it to your mailing list.

I didn't dug any deeper, but it seems like Lyude also published the communication between her an Vaxry, if I understand it correctly.
