Ok, fair question. Say you send us an article to be used on FAOL...you thought it up and wrote it, and you can put a copyright on it when you send it in. We print it and technically everything on FAOL is covered by our copyright but unless we have a separate agreement with you, you still own the material you sent us. Some writers request their copyright appear on their articles, others don't. If some club, not for profit contacts us and asks to reprint your article in their newsletter I will give them your contact information and tell them to contact the author. If the article they want to use is mine or Trav's I will allow them to use it with the agreement they will include a 'credit' on the article which says it came from FAOL and was used with permission. You can change any article, photo, artwork by a minimum of 50% and use it as you wish without legal recourse. That can be messy but it is done. Hope that answers your question.
