Digium's permission?  Does Digium own the copyright on what I write?  I
think not.  I do.  I don't recall assigning any copyright when I joined
the list.

On the other hand I think there is an implicit assignment to the public
domain when you contribute to a ML.

What ads?  I don't see any ads.

Now if you really want to complain about this particular subject you
could start with osdir.com:

Although I'm really not sure what you are in a tizzy about.  It seems a
fair trade to get some ad revenue to support the cost of the archiving
which is a convenience to the people who don't want to go to the expense
of archiving everything they might be interested in ever reading
themselves.

I find it surprising that the US economy is on the brink of depression
with an unprecedented $700 billion (and that _billion_ with a B) bailout
of the credit economy and you are complaining about somebody possibly
recouping his expenses for what is arguably a public service.

~sigh~
