Another $.02 with "not-a-lawyer" disclaimer. A couple days ago, this thread suggested articles in the Washington Post with bylines as an example of things that fell into copyright area. Might a list rather be considered like the "Letters to the Editor" section, and the copyright holder actually be the publisher? Then, the permission needed is the publisher's (read -- listowner.)
