Really? This comes new to me! You mean that some snippets could be, say, GPLed and could have been fed to the community without a warning?
What is the implicit license if someone doesn't declare one then?
Yes, I know that there are some jurisdiction mismatches across countries, sadly we cannot do anything about it :-(I don't like having in my mail archive copyrighted material with unknown license which I haven't asked for. Since you are new to the list I assume it was a mistake, but remember that snippets posted to the list are assumed to be public domain.Most legal jurisdictions do not have a concept of "public domain" that people can simply place new creations under.
Sorry, but this is really bad news. So if I asked for help and someone sent me on this list a snippet to solve the problem then my code could have been "infected" with unknown licensing term?!?By default, you have no rights to do anything what-so-ever with material sent to you.
Yes, of course. I wasn't worried really about archiving, but later unintentional "reusing".I would like to see a court rule against somebody for archiving unsolicited content sent to them, though!
