why license at all?
IIRC, all mails to this list are in the Public Domain. I believe that was always the intent - at least as far back as I can remember. Perhaps we should make this explicit in the guidelines so that people who don't like that can refrain from mailing the list.
Just want to mention my experience with messages on this list. I had written a mail about an issue of LFY and it included a balanced view. In the next month's issue I find my message on this list being printed in the letters section and they neatly assembled only those lines that were positive about LFY. All this without my knowledge of the same.
Regret that permission was not taken from you in addition to you not being notified about it. If you could direct me to the mail (from the mailing list archives) and the issue of LFY where it was published, it'd help me review that matter.
Best, Atanu
