+Well, I'd tend to think public mailing list, as publicly available
+information, can be mirrored by anybody. It also reduces the load of
+lists.gnu.org.
+
+I do not see that as bad. Anybody can subscribe to your list, so why
+not a program? Besides, archivum still can mirror your list archives
+by 'wget -r'ing the HTML archives.
+
+There is no precise licensing guidelines for mailing-lists, so I would
+say each author is responsible of the contents he wrote, and in the
+case of a public list, agreed for its diffusion on the net.
+
+If publicity is a problem for you, you can turn you mailing-list as
+private; the archives will then only be available to the lists
+members. Note that old messages will remain public.
