Very simple: Basically, the chat list is for everything that's off-topic on all other lists. Legal and licensing issues are off-topic on all other lists, so the correct list would be chat@, by definition. Another list that _might_ be somewhat related to these things is the advocacy@ list. It's not perfect, but a lot better than the current@ list which is only about discussing the development (i.e. code) of the -current branch. > > - Ask postmaster@freebsd to create a list for those who want it, > > eg: law@freebsd remit: "Licensing, Copyright, Law, Software > > Patents" > > I have suggested that and most people seem to see no need to for it > thus we are left with inapporiate forums... Wrong. There is an apporopriate forum: chat@ (or maybe advocacy@ if you prefer). You just refuse to use it and continue to post to inappropriate lists. If I were postmaster@, I would blacklist you if you continued to violate the list chartes. Fortunately I'm not postmaster@. ;-) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
