Then so is every single tech help list with public archives. Or every single email list with public archives. I'm subscribed personally to scores of them, and those lists are a tiny fraction of all of them. Some of them have been in existence before the web. I can't figure out why you keep harping on an issue like this that is not at all unique to FreeBSD, nor even open source. Why don't you head over to some other tech lists for a while and complain about this? Say, have you read over the legal documents pertaining to when DejaNews and later Google archived Usenet? It would be educational for you to peruse them. > > Have you spoken to an actual lawyer about this issue? I have. Guess > > what he said? > > I prefer not to guess.

Yes, but you're not a lawyer, yet you persist in talking about these matters as if you had some authority. I hate to bring up the old cliche ... but, seriously, Anthony, most of what you do here is spread: Fear Uncertainty Doubt Anyway, I'll leave you guessing at what he said. But, just to give you a hint, he was laughing when he said it. - jt
