You don't need the maintainer's permission to republish your own copyrighted text. > Allow maintainers to permit free imports or > handshake.

And it would be impossible to track down (and obtain permission from, and have a record of permission from) every user who made every post and every comment in the community. ~ Rachel -- http://www.lastsyllable.net http://bohemianeditor.dreamwidth.org This is not the sig you're looking for.
