I want to point out I am in broad agreement with Phil here, but doubt 
we'd get the consensus to do it.  That said, there is a consensus 
forming along that exact opinion, that it should be done but we'd never 
be able to do it.  Although the list of copyright violations on the list 
provided were very small, they might be very large in the contributor in
