i'm not a publisher, so i don't know ... but it seems to me that if
someone contributed a section or chapter, they could copyright it, and
that would be ok. copyrighted material CAN be allowed to be reprinted,
right? by permission? so if they want it to be included in 'the book',
then it can say "by permission of the author" and list his copyright.
anybody know for sure if that's the way to do it?
