Sounds like a good analogy. Then posting to a newsgroup would be
analogous to granting one time publication rights to the magazine.
What you wrote it still "yours" implicitly, but the newserver(s)
you posted to can distribute it.

So, ultimately, the statement that started all this just sounds like
a reaffirmation of the POV-Team's policy on not having the contents
of this newserver fed into USENET coupled with a reminder to others
not to just republish posted articles, pics, or source codes without 
permission.
