Yes and no... in practice that's basically correct. There are two types
of use:
Primary use: When list members receive messages from the list (i.e. not
sent to them individually) they may forward them to other individuals or
lists and quote from them in subsequent conversations (with due
permission and acknowledgement). Most email software automatically
quotes the original message anyway, so we are all quoting all the time.
Secondary use: All list messages are archived for public display on the
list webpage (unless removed by the service provider). This web page,
like any other web page, is a public internet reference source that may
be quoted (with due permission and acknowledgement).
Our assumption in both cases is that the author grants permission
(implied licence) for publication on these terms every time they send a
message to the list (rather than sending one privately to an
individual). By default, your reply does not go to the list if you just
hit the 'reply' button. Posting to the public list is therefore a
purposeful act of consent to list policy.
All messages to this list are published material (published in the UK
and subject to UK law). They are not private correspondence. It is as
though you were sending a letter for publication to a newspaper. You
have the right to state in your message that you don't wish to be
quoted, but if you don't wish to be quoted then you would be well
advised not to post to a published source!
NB: all the above relates to our 'open' (public) list - you should never
quote or forward any mail from a 'closed' (private) list or from private
correspondence without express written authority.
Hope that helps
Best wishes
Mark

Mark,
Can you clarify this point explicitly as this is of interest to all of
us ... In the policy on the site you sent, the key lines below would
suggest to me that in fact any of us CAN be cited in other people's
articles or research for whatever we say on this list, so long as we
are not misquoted, our thoughts are not used out of context or
appropriated, and our name is given. Do I read this correctly? This was
my prior understanding of web-list postings as well. It is afterall a
public forum.
Thanks in advance for your clarification.

>>from JISC site:
When you post to a public list you do not lose copyright, but your
message may be, archived, forwarded to other lists and quoted by others
Messages sent to a list should not be, quoted out of contex, changed
in any way, reworded or mis-attributed
