- The presence of an "Archive: no" header in an article indicates that
- the poster does not permit redistribution from publicly accessible
- long-term or permanent archives. The absence of this header, or an
- explicit "Archive: yes", indicates that the poster is willing for
- such redistribution to take place. The optional "filename" parameter
- can then be used to suggest a filename under which the article should
- be stored. Further extensions to this standard may provide additional
- parameters for administration of the archiving process.
-
- NOTE: This standard does not attempt to define the length of
- "long-term", since it is dependent on many factors, including
- the retention policies of individual sites, and the customs or
- policies established for particular newsgroups or hierarchies.
-
- NOTE: Posters are cautioned that some sites may not implement
- the "no" option of the Archive-header correctly. In some
- jurisdictions non-compliance with this header may constitute a
- breach of copyright or of other legal provisions. Moreover,
- even if this header prevents the poster's words from being
- archived publicly, it does nothing to prevent the archiving of a
- followup in which those words are quoted.
