Disclaimer / Privacy policy / Legal information
The mailing lists are public forums.
All emails sent to the lists are distributed both to the list
subscribers and copied to the public archive, for people to browse or
search without the need to be subscribed.
Furthermore, you can browse our mailing lists as Usenet newsgroups. It
can be done using a web interface, like Google or Gmane.
There may be other places where lists are distributed -- please make
sure you never send any confidential or unlicensed material to the
lists. This includes things like e-mail addresses. Of particular note
is the fact that spammers, viruses, worms etc have been known to abuse
e-mail addresses posted to our mailing lists.
Debian maintains the mailing lists in good faith and will take steps
to curb all noticed abuse and maintain uninterrupted normal
service. At the same time, Debian is not responsible for all mailing
list posts or anything that may happen in relation to them.
Please see our disclaimer of responsibility for more information.
http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/disclaimer
Our mailing lists are public forums, and our mailing list archives
are public.
By sending an email to such a public forum, you agree to public
distribution of your article. All mails sent to any of our mailing
lists (and to the bug tracking system) will be publically distributed
and archived in our mailing list archives.
Any emails sent by any one person directly to the list, or replies by
others to those emails sent to the list, are considered published, in
accordance with the United States law.
Obviously the author still owns the copyright to the content of these
emails that they have written. However, that does not mean that the
Debian Project is under obligation to remove them from a list archive
once published. Several legal counsels have reviewed this stance and
confirmed it is correct.
...You will probably find more documents if you really want to ;-)
