Re-ing: I would say that we should have a policy that represents the (public) (domain) lists at large, whatever that is, that we have to fight for the copy right fair use case. Not just have some thing to feel safe - esp., the sense of "safe" that is deemed as progressive, say, by NASSCOM. .. and some-ing: Its one thing to indicate that we are aware of the issues. And to work towards certain policy changes of the policy that get otherwise defined, say by NASSCOMmies. For this, we may have to be politically informed players. But identifying FOSSCOMM as an organization/company in this way, would be suggesting that communities are indeed just that. >> If we have a need to set that in the policy, we can be explicit about >> this disclaimer >> i.e., Message specific licenses may not hold ground > > I'm not particularly in favour of public domain either, since that > waives all rights.
