Re: [Savannah-hackers] Public external mail archive of many gnu.org lists

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi,

Well, I'd tend to think public mailing list, as publicly available
information, can be mirrored by anybody. It also reduces the load of
lists.gnu.org.

I do not see that as bad. Anybody can subscribe to your list, so why
not a program? Besides, archivum still can mirror your list archives
by 'wget -r'ing the HTML archives.

There is no precise licensing guidelines for mailing-lists, so I would
say each author is responsible of the contents he wrote, and in the
case of a public list, agreed for its diffusion on the net.

If publicity is a problem for you, you can turn you mailing-list as
private; the archives will then only be available to the lists
members. Note that old messages will remain public.
