To All: I think Dar's statement above and the thread that caused his
response is one that needs more thought and a response from RunRev. We do
contribute to each other's developments and there are different copyright
laws in different countries. For example, in Australia the law is such that
whatever I produce I have copyright over whether stated or not. That means
that in theory I have copyright over everything I post to this list. I'd
like to see a legal document on the RunRev site that automatically disclaims
anyone's right to copyright over posts to this list and perhaps to user
contributions. The document should also disclaim any liability on behalf of
the author. The last thing we need is someone getting sued because they
tried to help!
I hereby disclaim any copyright over and any liability for anything posted
to this listserve.

Monte,
This copyright thread was discussed at length on another list regarding postings to that list and copyright issues. Their concerns where about finding out that there was an archive of all the previous postings. It came up that some wanted to change what they had posted several years earlier. St John's Maelstrom was going to drop years before 1999 because the archive database was getting clogged up. I was going to make an MTML version of the dropped years so that it would not be lost. The final resolution was that if the messages are not changed they can be reproduced (republished) outside of the list without concern for copyright infringement. So to those that wanted there messages changed the answer was no. The archive is public domain as long as it remains in its equivalent form, without changing what was said. I forget the law that was sited in regard to this but I could search for copyright threads from a year ago in that list's archive.
