Then they must sue gmane, nabble and other public sites. Common - this information is public and if people maintain the copyright notice - it doesn't matter where this information is located. Can you be more specific about what can be "not ok" with copying web site for offline use? > Certain parts of it are meant for redistribution; those should typically > also have an explicit license with them (I'm thinking about the > documentation > in particular). There is no explicit license for documentation. It is covered by Python license agreement. http://docs.python.org/license.html > If this position is agreeable, it would then be possible, but very tedious, > to go through the website and indicate what pages can be redistributed > and which one cannot.

I guess without site structure or sitemap, going through all the pages doesn't guarantee that all content is covered. This in turn, raises the question - if full sitemap can be generated with current implementation of web-site backend? -- anatoly t. _______________________________________________ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
