I have no axe to grind here, so do whatever you want. From my small amount of experience in this area, I would not copy and post online, stuff that has a copyright statement. All you have to do is include that notice to protect your intellectual property. But, as you say, you have to be willing to fight to protect it.
I know we are getting away from the purpose of this reflector, so I will have no more comments on this thread. Let's get back to what really maters - VNWA.

Because anyone can read at will, and there is no charge to do so. If there are any 3rd party contributions, it is questionable whether any copyright could apply to that as well.
It also comes into question if he really cared that much about copyright, or just grabbed that jibber and spew from another site since it looked good . . .
(Not sure on this one) I also wonder, since copyright is effectively ownership (prevent others from claiming/profiting from your work) if it were presented with full credit and zero financial issue, is it protected?
Not sure - I just can't fathon anyone spending more that 3 seconds disputing something that earned him nothing (but would cost quite a bit to defend). It just seems to violate the entire spirit and attitude of Ham radio by about? 97 percent . . .

I have not been following this real closely, but why do you say it was released to "public domain?" I saw a clear Copyright notice with "all rights reserved" last time I looked at that blog.

It would be the same as stopping publication of a book, and demanding that all existing copies be destroyed - purely nonsensical.
"Fair use" is also a factor.
