One does not in the UK have to assert copyright in the work itself the
creation of the work carries copyright by default we are not in the US free
for all yet.
Ignorance that I have asserted copyright is no excuse.
I am trying to establish that copyright is and always stays with the creator
unless specifically assigned, but that what exists for the purpose of this
list is the implicit assumption that one is granting licence to quote to
download and to archive.
