And it has already been pointed out several times why your
explanation is incorrect.

Very simple:  Basically, the chat list is for everything
that's off-topic on all other lists.  Legal and licensing
issues are off-topic on all other lists, so the correct
list would be chat@, by definition.

Another list that _might_ be somewhat related to these
things is the advocacy@ list.  It's not perfect, but a
lot better than the current@ list which is only about
discussing the development (i.e. code) of the -current
branch.

Wrong.  There is an apporopriate forum: chat@ (or maybe
advocacy@ if you prefer).  You just refuse to use it and
continue to post to inappropriate lists.

If I were postmaster@, I would blacklist you if you
continued to violate the list chartes.  Fortunately
I'm not postmaster at .  ;-)
