Actually:
I've been worried about this for a very long time, ever since back when I
was worried that this fancy new Lugnet thing would kill RTL. [*] So, I've
asked Todd for access to mirror the newsgroup data, and to have all rights
automatically transfer under section 7ii of the ToU in the event of a
disaster.
And he didn't give me any trouble about it. :)
So there's at least that contingency plan in the works. If something Bad
were to happen, I'd plan to take the posts and release them under a
relatively open license. (In fact, this part might go in writing.)
[*] Which it arguably did. See this thread:
