Sorry, no legal opinion here.  However...

The In Moderation Network will, in fact, have people looking at each
message.  That's their "service," to weed out cruft.  So if they don't abide
by my signature, they can't plead ignorance.

And if by some "mistake" they do use my articles, they cannot restrict their
customers from freely redistributing it.
