I believe there was also a related question concerning who might be held
liable for copyright infringement in the case of something dodgy making
it into the archive - would it be the FTP team because they exert
editorial control over the archive, would it be SPI as the umbrella
organisation, or would the axe fall on the individual maintainer?
