I think that's very appropriate.  I'm not entirely sure *where* to put
it though.  Wouldn't it legally be most effective if this license
language were spelled out right before the person hit "join"?  Also, how
do we cover existing members?  I'm not sure putting it in the Club FAQs
helps us much from a legal perspective, does it?  I'm not very up on
cyberspace law, which is completely developing.  You haven't really put
someone on notice that you're taking their thoughts & incorporating them
into another forum unless they know this up-front, before they join --
have you?

Perhaps I'm being too academic about this.  Heidi -- thoughts?
