Thank you for making my point. I don't want to give permission to Michel to use my stuff... Yet, I would like to make folks up here aware of some additional resources that I will be putting on line soon.....

If I contribute a chapter to a book or an article to a magazine, I generally retain copyright of the chapter or article (and give the publisher permission to use it, perhaps exclusively for a certain amount of time), but the publisher retains copyright in the book or magazine as a whole.

>>>To be fair to Michael, The way I read his copyright notice is that he owns the collection, but the individual components remain the property of the respective authors. According to Fishman (in either Software Development -- a Legal Guide or Copyright your software), there's a distinct difference between the collection and the components.
