--nextPart3070026.IlJMVr0MZU Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Greetings, I have a strange question that has been bothering mi mind in the past 2 hou= rs=20 and it`s about legal notices. Nowadays almost everything is digital and the= re=20 is usually some copyright/copyleft or whaterver other legal notice assigned= =20 to almost every piece of bits/data (binary programs, source codes, images,= =20 docs, etc...). In this way of thoughts every e-mail should be considered so= me=20 kind of intelectual property belonging to its author, shouldn't it? So I was thinking: should there be some kind of legal notice when subscribi= ng=20 to a list (respectively sending an e-mail to a list, not being subscribed t= o)=20 that says that the author gives exclusive rights to The FreeBSD Foundation = to=20 store (archive) and redistribute (the way mailing lists work) e-mails being= =20 sent to the list? I have been thinking about this since some people use in their signatures=20 texts like: "You should not copy this e-mail or use it for any other purposes or disclo= se=20 its contents to any other person." Correct me if I am thinking complete nonsense, please! Mailing list have be= en=20 live for a long time now, but I think nowadays they need subscriber's=20 permission to redistribute, store and publish subscriber's mails on the web.
