It's interesting to observe the following change of policy at everything2.com:

I don't think that OG has any stuff that is lifted from elsewhere. That's always been considered bad form, as in "it's always better to link" (note that E2 does not have the ability to link outside).
I wonder if we should consider a copyright statement on the site, and a © message on each page (via the template of course). What do others think?

This is a subject that has come up at a few social meets, and we had Nigel's talk at the last tech meet. I feel we need some kind
of
statement on the London site of the copyright status.
