Re: List moderator action

Everyone,

This message is to advise you that Daniel J Bernstein has been partially
suspended from posting to [email protected] for a period of 30 days. This
follows the posting of derivative rights claims [1] to the list in
contravention of our previous request in [2]. The format of the notice is
different to those used previously, but still seeks to apply the named
restrictions "*may not be modified, and derivative works of it may not
be **created,
and it may not be published except as an Internet-Draft*" to his email
contribution, via the sentence "*The same language hereby applies to this
document.*" Such restrictions are considered disruptive following [3].

This suspension is implemented as a "hold for moderation". If Daniel posts
a message to the list that doesn't contain the rights claim and is on
topic, it should be allowed through. This may take up to two working days.

Thanks,
Chris Box on behalf of the Moderators team for [email protected]
