Of course, we should design our plug-in properly, facilitating people 
wont to forget about it ;0) So after installation and initialisation, it 
should be 'on' by default, with the optimal (from the corpus-building 
point of view) settings.

Under the terms I build my Dutch corpus, this 'donation' is only in part 
so. I have not explicitly donated this text to be incorporated in any 
corpus and given consent to it being further distributed. My posting may 
very well end up in a web-as-corpus corpus and it probably will also be 
archived in the Internet Archive as well as many other places. But it 
cannot just be copied and distributed and referred to as part of a 
*shareable* corpus...

Implicitly I may have given consent, however. That is if the maintainers 
of the Corpora List explicitly state somewhere in its 'terms of use' 
that any posting implies that the poster passes on his own copyright to 
the site, or (better still) that any posting will be under Creative 
Commons Licence such and so (allowing redistribution, preferably 
allowing remixing). As regards this List, I do not know. I check these 
things almost for a living, but currently only for sites eligible for 
the Reference Corpus of Dutch (called: SoNaR).

Yours,

Martin
