Yes. Or rather; they own the copy of the content stored on
Lugnet and are free to do practically whatever they want to
do with it.

You do. But you have given a copy away to Lugnet.

My point is that in case Lugnet is about to go off-line,
somebody can't just make a copy of the site, put it up and
keep all the content available. Having the content under a
free license removes a possible failure point that often
hits smaller LEGO fan sites, but also could hit a site like
Lugnet.
We, as individuals, own our respective articles posted on
Lugnet, but not as a collected structure. Lugnet owns the
collected structure. That is the problematic point as I see
it.
Play well,
Jacob
