There is still the very real issue of those people who do not believe in
IPR of messages sent to what they personally deem open or public mailing
lists even if the terms and conditions of the list itself are no re-use or
re-posting then copying the messages over to some separate and independent
system where those T&Cs are unenforcable. The maintainer of gmane.org
considers a list to be open or public if he can subscribe his scraper
account to it thereafter the content is fair game for public
redistribution. He will accept a request from any one to scrape a list
without contacting the list owners/operators first. The worst sort of
opt-out list around.
