Re: Copyright Question



Well, maybe.  I'm not an expert by any means, but there may be some question
depending on how the author was treated.  I _suspect_ the articles belong to
the paper, but if he was working as some form of independent contractor,
there MIGHT be some reason why it belonged to the author.
