Hoi, You deny the existence of copyright.. It being public does not mean that it is fair game for any and all purposes. Thanks, GerardM

Archives are public, so, IMHO, the list is.

I think it was important to re-explain all those points so that the community, which is - again - unnecessarily taken as witness, is not deceived by a scenario built from scratch. Again, to discredit the movement by such erroneous but public
accusations
still shows that only personal interests and vainness matter in this conflict with some people.
I seize the opportunity to ask: what is the legal status of the list?
Is
it considered public?
I mean, it's easy to subscribe for anyone, but you still have to subscribe. And as far as I know, accessing archives require to login.
Now
there are other website which make crawled archives publicly
accessible,
but just because some do that doesn't mean it's legal.
Also I'm not aware of any license regarding posted emails, so plain copyright probably apply, minus any exception related to epistolary material that might exist.
It might be interesting to make any post to our mailing list a free licensed material. I've been thinking about that as I had the idea to extensively analyse the wikidata-l mailling list and publish a side by
side
statements and extracted keywords elements, but from a legal point of
view
it is probably not feasible. That might be circumvented with links, or providing a software which generate the expected table from provided references, but anyway it's less practical than a straight published
table.
Having this material published under a free license would make it far
more
useful in any kind of study with such an extensive goal in its
publication.
Now, switching to a free license would not make the change retroactive, but it would already cover new material. Also it should be possible to contact most posters through their email and ask permission to release their previous publications under one or more free licenses and change archive metadata accordingly.
