So... Am I the only confused with all that legal stuff? ;-) Bottom line,I don't have a problem publishing my articles at OWN, so can anyone write a what-to-do so that our articles at our blogs or anything else we have will have the proper copyright and the proper licenses for that? Thanks in advance Kostas 2011/1/27 Satoru Matsumoto <helios_reds@gmx.net>:

I would concur. The only time I could see an issue coming up is if the copyright owner objected to the usage of the material. While I'm not a lawyer, it seems to me that anyone other than the copyright owner wouldn't have standing to object to it, and I believe the legal principle of "standing" would apply in most if not all jurisdictions.
Thanks for your comments, Malcolm and Jim.
As I explained in another post, most of the articles which OWN introduce now are *not clearly permitted* to reprint, republish and modify. In particular, on most of the corporations' site, they state "All rights reserved." Although I'm not an expert in this area either, as far as I understand, we can't *reprint* articles without permissions by copyright owners.
I can agree, that 99.99% we won't be charged with violation of copyright, because most of the authors want their works to be read by as many readers as possible. But this doesn't mean we are legitimate.
On the other hand, most of the copyright laws contain special exemptions, which says, *appropriate* citations are permitted without copyright owners consent. But what are considered the *legitimate* and *appropriate* citations depends on which country's copyright law and guidelines we should refer to.
Best,
