Gary at ihnp4 does indeed ask first before distributing L.sys info.
Here is an excerpt from his connection info message:

    Please specify if your L.sys info can be sent to other Bell System
    sites, or if it should be kept private on ihnp4.

I suspect that a lot of people read right past that and don't realize
what it says.  I know I did.  If you have ever had any dealings with
Gary, you know that he is dedicated and professional about his work.  I
know everyone on the net is sick and tired of apologies, but let me
offer mine to Gary if I have helped to tarnish his reputation.

Let me also thank the folks at ihnp4 for volunteering to be a uucp
central clearing house.  It's a job I wouldn't want, and I think it has
helped all of us more than it has helped them.
