While Yahoo does not claim ownership of group content, the TOS agreement you
entered into when you joined Yahoo gives them virtually unrestricted use of
that content. The TOS carefully avoids the question as to whether or not
others may do the same. All the agreement says is that members are bound
solely to the laws of the state of California regarding copyright issues.
I have written to the copyright officer at Yahoo for clarification on this
issue. My guess is that he will decline to give an opinion.
Of course one could just ignore all the whining and get on with
distribution. Bluff is cheaper than lawyers anyway.
