It was the same thing, but I expanded upon it instead of just dumping random
thoughts to the keyboard :)

Well, I can't see any reason an author would upload a file to a public
archive like the IF Archive, or simtel, or any other such site, if he didn't
want it downloaded from that site by the public, so that is a reasonable
assumption to make -- but a note that to upload a file is to agree to it
being available for download might resolve that question.
