missed the point. you can publish without giving up copyright. in fact,
that's what the whole publishing industry is all about.

now by publishing to a newgroup or mailing list, you definitely give
permission to copy within the list, because that's just the way it
works just like publishing in a newspaper means it'll be printed on a
lot of sheets of paper.
unless specified otherwise, you still haven't given permission to, say,
take your posting and publish it somewhere else.
