Hello Thomas
On 17-Mai-00, you wrote:

Oops :) I would suggest closing it then ;-)

Yep, this is a good argument.

Well, don't look that strict at it. Not a list FAQ, but an ARexx-FAQ.
Most mails here in the list *are* questions. However, it is an option. It'�
there.

No, but it sure would be nice to have those.

Two are already added. More could come. A handful ? A handful might be what
you know. There could be even more.

Read again:

"You *agree* ...."
By signing this service you agreed...
I am not quite sure, how valid such statements are. But I fear, they are.
I doubt, that we will ever get in touch with this clause, but it itches my
back.

Read again: It is not the file-area only. It is the list itself, and all
published code in it ! They own the rights on this mail as well. They say.
I don't want them to own these rights.
And if you think its their list....and they own all intellectual property,
because they own the piece of hardware.....
Again, I think its propably not an issue for practice. Most likely they are
not interested in us at all. It's just a matter of fact: I just dislike such
policies and thought that might be an additional reason and maybe
interesting for others.
