Well, some publishers ask for assignment of copyright. More info is needed on whether the copyright on the work was assigned or not. If the article was specifically written for being published on that site, at the site's request, they are the ``employer'' and no formal copyright assignment is necessary. >> But copyright is taken through licence , right ? > > They are two different things. Copyright in a work comes into being when the work is published. Once the right is created, people are given the permission to use the work by the owner of the copyright. The terms and conditions granting the permission is called ``license''. >> Man i am feeling like a noob , :) > > Everyone is a noob at some time in their life :) > > The important thing is not to hesitate to ask questions.
