I opened one. As I am paying for the colocation, disk space, domain and administration of that list, I feel it is perfectly within my rights to open the list and invite people.
I think this particular thread deserves a seperate list because it is: A. Very important to me. B. Very off topic C. I will not subscribe to a mailing list only to discuss a certain thread that is off topic there as well. From experience, these mailinst lists tend to not be high traffic, and therefor do not require a large overhead to subscribe. I think taking this subject seriously requires that there is a place dedicated to coordinating the effort. Hence - I opened a mailing list. You can all vote me wrong by the simple act of not subscribing. > >i think that legal status that may affect people on this list may be of >intererst. > If people are interested, they are welcome to subscribe to the new list. Like I said, it is unlikely to become a high volume one, and subscription will not cost you much in terms of personal bandwidth. > >and i think they are not off-topic ( lwn speaks about them all the time, maybe >even too much ) > This topic is not Linux specific, and only broadly Linux related. I think it is fair to say it is rather off topic. Not off topic enough for me to complain about it being here, but certanly off topic enough for any complaints about someone donating their server space for dedicated discussion to seem a bit strange in my eyes. I don't know what the charter for Hackers-IL is. If I understood it correctly, NOTHING is considered off topic there, which is precisely the reason I don't want to subscribe to that list. It will require too much personal bandwidth (even reading the title of a thread requires time). > > >just my 2 (what is the cents of euro ? ). > They are called cents.

Not much, but enough to pay for my own mailing list ;-) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
