[-- Attachment #1 --] Greetings, I have a strange question that has been bothering mi mind in the past 2 hours and it`s about legal notices. Nowadays almost everything is digital and there is usually some copyright/copyleft or whaterver other legal notice assigned to almost every piece of bits/data (binary programs, source codes, images, docs, etc...). In this way of thoughts every e-mail should be considered some kind of intelectual property belonging to its author, shouldn't it? So I was thinking: should there be some kind of legal notice when subscribing to a list (respectively sending an e-mail to a list, not being subscribed to) that says that the author gives exclusive rights to The FreeBSD Foundation to store (archive) and redistribute (the way mailing lists work) e-mails being sent to the list? I have been thinking about this since some people use in their signatures texts like: "You should not copy this e-mail or use it for any other purposes or disclose its contents to any other person." Correct me if I am thinking complete nonsense, please! Mailing list have been live for a long time now, but I think nowadays they need subscriber's permission to redistribute, store and publish subscriber's mails on the web. Thank you for your time reading this :) -- This correspondence is strictly confidential.
