This was a source of much controversy on CompuServe and the net a while
ago. The consensus is that anything that CompuServe owns is governed
by the contract. Anything that someone else owns (or places in the
public domain) is not. 

A slight complication: CompuServe reserves the same right that others
use when they print a collection of stories.  If I've remembered 
correctly, this means that I can repost single items but not, 
for example, all the commentary posted in a CompuServe SIG.
