Hi.

Unless the contents of discussion tend to become overwhelming for most
readers, I wouldn't recommend splitting the list now.

I think one aspect of the masters on libre software is indeed its
multi-disciplinary nature : mixing disciplines such as legal and
technical, social, etc. So I think our discussions should reflect that,
even if all messages are not 100% pertinent for every categories of
professors. 
I very much prefer to have to skip messages dealing with details of law
teaching if I'm not a specialist, but still get a feeling of what law
teachers think with respect to the difficult task of teaching law to
techies, than to have to read one more mailing-list (considering the
tenth I already am subscribed to ;)...

I assume that most of us are quite aware of the basic principles of each
of these matters, for instance, most teachers with technical background
have a basic understanding of copyright law, if they teach libre
software. So the noise/signal ratio should still be quite good at most
times.

Of course if there come too many discussions and everyone agrees, it
will be time to split somehow.

Just my 2 cents.

Best regards.
