Ok thanks. I've added that link into my spreadsheet.

The permission specifically refers to the objects, so doesn't explicitly 
cover Sabrina archiving the geocities content. Having said that, the pages 
relate exclusively to the objects, so I can't imagine he'd have an issue 
with it.
Could you contact him again to see that he's aware of the geocities closure? 
If he's already moved or is planning to move his geocities content it could 
save Sabrina some unnecessary work.

I also noticed that the permission for the objects covered GPL (CC-GPL) and 
BSD whereas the Object Collection is on the CC-LGPL (the Lesser GPL) 
license. I think this is probably ok, because I think the BSD is generally 
more liberal than the LGPL and I believe it authorises you to 'trade-up' to 
other, more restrictive licenses, though it would probably be polite to draw 
his attention to this distinction. The GPL license by contrast is stricter 
and doesn't authorise redistribution under an LGPL license.

Chris B.
