This is generally implied with any forum or newsgroup -- It's just restating what the above list said: you can't post publically and then turn around and sue voip-info.org for doing something with that information. You will note it said "NONexclusive ... right" -- they're not saying the information belongs to them, they are saying that the information is in the public domain. > What worries me most is that the current terms seem crafted so as to > ensure that should the people who run voip-info ever decide to remove > content, or stop hosting the wiki, it couldn't be mirrored anywhere else. Untrue. Their terms about relinking or republishing are for COMMERCIAL use, unless I'm misreading something here.
