Did you have permission to redistribute that?  The fact that it is
posted on an open-access website does not constitute consent.

Even if you did have permission, it would have been better to post a
link than to dump the whole contents into the list.

As it is, you've committed two breaches of netiquette and one breach of
copyright law.
