...and if in 2019 there are 300 people posting with different licences that prohibit commercial exploitation to the list, I have to get consent from each of those 300 individually. Right, let's change that Rs 25 to Rs 2,50,000, and as for the poor sucker who wanted the archives so he could implement the ideas in his domain, well, he can fork out the cash (after waiting a couple of years for me to trace all the authors from 10 years back). To repeat, posting under an explicit licence to a public mailing list is selfish and anti-social. There is a reason why FOSS projects don't permit contributions under multiple licences (the Linux kernel being the outstanding example) except under very unusual circumstances, and it is to prevent precisely these sort of issues that the "one licence, don't contribute if you don't like it" policy applies.
