<notice> Those who volunteer information for inclusion in databases of a pub wan nature (i.e. pubwan participants) do so with the understanding that such information will be 'read-unprotected-world,' which is to say in the de facto public domain.
To this end, pubwan content, by definition, is content that is not classified, proprietary or otherwise protected under existing intellectual property law from being copied into the public domain. Also to this end, pubwan informational facilities (both in cypherspace and in meatspace) possess (by definition) hyperlinks or other (suitable to the media) pointers to the present text, which is to say the pubwan nonprivacy policy. </notice>
