Nabble FAQ http://www.nabble.com/more/Faq.jtp
Relevent bits copied here
6. Do I have to be a list owner to request adding a list to Nabble archive?
No. Anybody can request to add a list to Nabble archive. If you subscribe to
a list, and find yourself receiving too many emails, or having a hard time
searching through the messages, you can consider getting a Nabble archive
for the list. This way you can view, search, post, entirely from the web
without cluttering your mail box.
7. Why is my mailing list archived without my knowledge?
Mailing list archive is not something new. Besides Nabble, a public mailing
list is very likely archived somewhere else. Try search Gmane, Mail-archive,
MARC, OpenSubscriber. They have all existed long before Nabble. Nabble could
find you public mailing list from these places. In addition, your list's
members may have requested Nabble to archive your list.
If you feel upset because nobody asked you for permission, take it easy. An
archive works like Google. Google will use a crawler to crawl your site to
collect the web pages and index them, much the same as an archive using an
email address to subscribe to your list to receive the messages and index
them. Had Google been to ask every webmaster for permission, it will take
too long, and there will be no Google or search engines. The bottom line is,
if you don't like it, we will delete it.
8. How do I delete my mailing list from Nabble archive?
Very easy. If you are a list owner, simply email us at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and your lists will be deleted.
9. Isn't Nabble trying to copy and replace me?
Nabble wants to be useful and transparent. If you feel shocked on seeing the
Nabble mirror of your content, please relax and be assured that the content
is still yours, and you can delete it anytime. Then, before cursing Nabble,
try asking yourself:
*
Is Nabble useful?
You probably will find the archive search useful. Nabble search is
fast, and you can cross search all your lists instead of searching each list
or relying on Google's "site:archive url" search (which is a hack because
Google does not index all your posts, especially the new ones). What's more,
some of your users may want a web interface to read and post instead of
using a cluttered email box. With Nabble, these users can talk from the web
and interact with the traditional email users seamlessly.
*
Is Nabble taking users away from my site?
We understand this concern. You put in effort to grow your users, and
we have no right to get in between. What we offer is an "embeddable" forum.
It means that you can customize the Nabble mirror to "embed" it into your
website. The Nabble mirror will still be hosted at Nabble, but you can
control the look and feel so that it looks like a part of your site,
complete with your logo, style sheet, javascript, and even ads.
*
What's in it for Nabble?
Nabble wants to become the best place for online discussions. That's
it for now. We don't know yet how to make money.
Keep in mind that by mirroring your discussion on Nabble, you could also
expand your audience through Nabble users who will likely find you through
Nabble search. They may join your discussions and thus expand your
membership. They could also go from the discussion page to visit your site.
10. Can Nabble sell the data (archive)?
It's like asking can Google sell the web pages in its index? Absolutely not.
A message belongs to its author. Besides, an email address is sacred.

Subject: Nabble stealing HOF thunder
I came across this site when doing a google search
http://www.nabble.com/Cold-Fusion-f590.html
Seems they are grabbing all of the email from this site and creating content
based on HOF. Have you authorized this Mike?
