"... without the explicit consent of the list owner, there is no
gatewaying, period."
There is no mechanism in place to compel this, thus, this 'policy' is
well-intentioned, but unenforceable, IMHO.
"... information posted to mailing lists is certainly not free ..."
Who pays whom for it ? Do the contributors get paid for contributing ?
"... unless the owner wants it to."
As I have stated in private mail with those concerned with this thread,
the word "owner" clearly has limits and can be stretched to the break-
-ing point in circumstances such as these, where they own neither the
data nor the mechanisms by which it is propogated ... they facilitate.
They possess nothing by which such a claim could be enforced, such as
a title or deed.
