This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Well, I was careful to point out that GNU's license was not the only
option, that Creative Commons had several different possible licenses,
that it was not all-or-nothing (all rights reserved vs. public
domain).
Indeed, the more I examine it, the less I like the Gnu documentation
license (the GPL is still the best thing since Lisp and sliced bread,
but that is neither here nor there); it has some rather nasty
provisos.  I myself, in my many contributions to Wikipedia, do not use
the GNU doc license. I release my articles and edits into the public
domain.
Still, I wish mantis had just noted on his website that he was
revising it, that it was gonna be published (and not just a 'maybe')
before I got all revved up.  And as I've said before, there is no real
need to ask... for now.
