[Mailman-Users] Copyright Notice on Web Site

[Sheryl Coe]

I would like to request permission to post the list of features of Mailman 
on my web site.

I edit the list because we only allow a subset of the features that you 
offer. [Just a note, we are not looking for new list hosting customers at 
this time. We generally only host the mailing list of customers of our 
other editorial services and don't offer it a la cart.] We've also removed 
the notes about certain features being new and improved.

I've done this in the past with full disclosure that it is edited and with 
a link to the original page.

But I notice that the copyright notice contains the word 'verbatim' so, I 
would respectfully request permission to post an __edited__ features list 
on our web site.

Your notice: "© 1998-2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Verbatim copying 
and distribution of this entire article is permitted in any medium, 
provided this notice is preserved."

Please RSVP, I've delayed posting about Mailman for too long.

Thanks for Mailman,

Sheryl Coe

--------------------------
On an tangential matter, I'd like to volunteer to work on editable pages 
that list hosts can use to edit and promote their Mailmans services. 
Perhaps others would appreciate less technical pages that xplain why it's 
better, from the perspective of their (potential) customers.
