I'll add one: it's just much easier to discuss a license when it's
there to be quoted from.  This seems to be a social effect.  In theory
it's not much trouble to look up a license text and copy it into
your reply, but in practice a text seems to be discussed much more
thoroughly if it was posted in the original mail.
