Take a look at what I wrote on www.lists.apple.com in the list rules. We're
going to be rewriting it (or more correctly, apple's lawyers are) soon, but
it seems to be pretty good. You're welcome to adopt it.
FWIW, the admin of gmane.org wrote me this morning and let me know all my
lists had been removed from the archives, so he's cooperative and
responsive. I'll give him credit for that.

I'll play devil's advocate here. This is the work of an open source project.
It looks (really!) to me like it's a group of people with their heart in the
right place, but who haven't taken into consideration some of the content
control issues in the can of worms they're opening. Their intent seems
laudable, and I'd say they're more a group of people that we ought to
consider talking to and educating about our issues than a group of greedy
dotcommers looking to make money off our content.
