everything I currently copy and past from it should be accredited in my
work back to the original author, i.e. the author should not fear that
their work would be copied but not be credited. Or are you saying the
license should make it blantantly clear to anyone who posts here (which I
thought it was, as there is no license) that anything and everything that
is posted here could and would end up in a thousand different people's work
without any acknowledgement of the source, i.e. visitors to the list should
fear copying anything or everything from this List.

I hope you mean the latter; whilst at the same time, for my own work
(nothing commercial) in the About box I include a generalised 'thank you'
to List members for their help and a link in the hope someone reading it
will join the party.
