I would like to have this Debian mailing list policy announcement
publicized as much as possible, as I'm attempting to set up a defense
against "spamming", and broad public announcement is required for that
defense to work. Canter and Siegel are spamming various lists with a
message about their new book - they got Linux-Hams this morning, and
are probably attacking the other vger.rutgers.edu lists.
Many Thanks

MAILING LIST ADVERTISING POLICY
This policy is intended to fight mailing-list "spamming".
The Debian Linux mailing lists accept commercial advertising for
payment. We offer a fee waiver if you can show us the cancelled check
for a $1000 (U.S.) or more donation to the Free Software Foundation
earmarked for "Debian". One donation per advertisement, please. If you
don't wish to donate, simply post your advertisement to the list, and
the operator of the mailing lists will bill $1999 (U.S). The list
operator will donate this amount, minus the expense of collecting it,
to FSF. Please note that the lists are distributed automaticaly - messages
are generally not read or checked in any way before they are distributed.
By the act of posting your advertisement you agree to accept
responsibility for the fee, you agree to indemnify the mailing-list
operator against any legal claims from you or others in connection with
your advertisement, and you agree to pay any legal and business
expenses incurred in collecting late payment. Our liability to you is
limited to a good-faith effort to deliver your message.
Reduced rates and/or waiver of fee are available for Debian-related
advertisements. You must consult the mailing-list operator in advance
of posting for any reduction or fee waiver.
