David is right.
Jonas makes a valuable point, of sorts. The only value for registering a
copyright, of any kind, of this collective public domain database is to
protect the good name of this mailing list, tz.
Other than that, there's little cause for "must be"'s (-es(?))
The potential complexity of this registration may be the spoiler.
