"Should" does not make it how it is.
Taking something that belongs to someone else and profiting from it is the
underlying issue.
I don't want anyone cloning my websites under the guise of teaching or
"Collecting VR's" to make a massive collection
or any purpose at all. The point is, my content belongs to me, just like
Yuvals content.
The usages are very clear in these regards.

Subject: [PanoToolsNG] Chilling effect on archiva, was DMCA...
Yuv (although this message is for the board),
Actions like this are, in my opinion, detrimental to the spirit
of this list.
Trying to enforce copyright on somebody who has gathered postings
and perhaps organize them to make them accessible sets a bad
precedent (He is using the original messages, crediting you, not
creating a derivative without crediting you).
THe biggest issue with this is that you are saying: "I don't want
anybody to archive" my messages". And that is bad. If one day
Yahoo Groups goes away all your postings (the ones you have
signed with a copyright license) would have to be removed
before this can be done (and because this type of precedent
then you all your messages).
The most important result of this is that you might be stopping
anybody (in the future)
who in good faith might want to publish your posting to
teach about panoramas.
The list should be open about reuse of its information. ANd perhaps
should change its terms-of-use to force a Creative Commons license
that guarantees that the content will not die the day the list
dies.
It is kind of ironic that mailing list that was created to support
software licensed under the GPL (which allows anybody to copy
the software as long as they allow anybody else to copy it itself,
among other things) is trying to close its information from
being disseminated.
