Agreed that whatever you write|do is attributed to do, but most things doesn't need an explicit attribution until you fear some one is going to steal it and take wrong credits for it. Surely nobody is going to say a mail written by you to be theirs. > AFAIK one of the powers of the mailing list is > attribution as to who said what, where, in what context,at what time. > If I'm safe-guarding whatever I feel I have to contribute I don't > think its trivializing any issue. Mailing list is not a place where you prove yourself to be right, its a place where you share your thoughts and experiences. Nobody is going to steal them at all. We are not meaning licensing the mail is wrong but we say it is just unnecessary as your mail are implicitly attributed to you, and you consciously know mailing list is a public interface and hence you need not explicitly specify a creative commons license to share it.
