Usenet doesn't accept binaries?  Are you joking?  I thought most usenet 
traffic is binaries. :-)

The key is giving notice.  A "some|no rights reserved" button linking to 
the appropriate license or dedication is preferred in HTML, but a plain 
text notice along the lines of

"This post is licensed to the public under the Creative Commons 
Attribution license <http://creativecommons.org/license/by/1.0/>."

ought to do the job (insert whatever license you prefer above).

No idea how doing so would impact squabbles over use of materials posted 
on usenet.
