I have also been approached by the eGroups.

I understand from the above that e-Groups is providing a free service and
that listowners who may find their software better could just move their
lists to eGroups. Such a move is a decision of the listowner and the offer
looks perfectly legal to me !.

Kos : Could you please elaborate further on why moving a list from e.g.
LISTSERV or Majordomo to eGroups is considered illegal or a breach of
L-Soft's contract.
