If Shirish wants to license his mails under a CC licence why should we have any issues? IMO anyone is welcome to continue posting his/her messages under any licence that permits free redistribution. What I do object to is meaningless legal disclaimers and conditions on mails posted to mailing lists. If you (or your company, or your cat, or the aliens who're remote-controlling you from mars) don't want your mails redistributed, don't post them to publicly archived mailing lists.
