FWIW, I agree with Karen and Alexander. The whole point (to my
recollection) of creating code4lib in the first place was to create a
venue where any aspect of computer programming in libraries could be
discussed. To my mind, this includes licensing, and business models,
and whether you like K&R style. Having a bunch of topic specific
lists, with even less traffic, which require you to question yourself
whether it's relevant to post your message is a bit of an anti-pattern
that I was trying to avoid at the time.

But over-categorization is an occupational hazard I suppose :-)
