However, some feel that there is an implied license due to the format the same way that there is an implied license to cache and index content posted on the Web. I disagree and most attorneys seem to as well. But it might still be wise to add a solid license to your feed if you don't already. An implied license only goes as far as there is no actual license offered. Express your wishes, any such license will be trumped. Just a thought.

I was surprised because I've visited your blog before and it's already a link on my site, because of the great information, and the network of other non profit bloggers that you point to. I talked about your blog and the blog exchange in an article I wrote today about the Rev. Jesse Jackson spending time in one of Chicago's public housing apartments. I hope that because of our exchange more people in my network will become better communicators by learning from you and your network, and some of the people will use these skills to help us mobilize support for volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs needed in Chicago and other cities.
