question about mailing lists license ,

[a dehqan]

In The Name Of God The compassionate merciful

Good day everyone ;
Thanks everyone for attentions ;
Thanks a lot Graham Todd  for your good answer ;
Graham Todd  ,see Iran law opinion is not required ,our religion Eslam  says
you can copy a person wealth/writens while he/she allows you , cause of this
it is required to know should we ask just from writer of post here for
permission OR not , we should ask from list admin for permission
You say that the list owner does not hold copyright and individual posters
hold copyright to their posts , If so we should just ask permission from
writer . To be sure 100% , would you give a voucher that list does not have
any copyright for posts/mails ?

Regards dehqan
