If the chronicler is thinking about mundane law, then they are wrong.
There may be a question about the material posted to public mail lists
and newsgroups. However, in the case of the articles most of them
have been submitted directly to me and I have the permission of the
author to use them and for others to also reprint them. The release
is at the bottom of any such articles, as it is in yours.

I did hear some grumblings in Trimaris that the Kingdom Chronicler
was not allowing his local chroniclers to reprint stuff unless
they had a signed letter okaying it from the author. I never heard
anything more. Of course, I try to include accurate contact info
in the articles so that anyone that needs such more explicit
permission, such as someone outside the SCA or wanting to use
an article for a for-profit publication, can reach the author.

Morgan, you out there? Any comments?

I ask to be notified of such republication, so that I can track
which articles are being republished, but I don't get that many
notices. I can't offer my authors any money for their work, but
I can offer some recognition and word fame.  Congratulations on
getting your work published further.

For anyone who is curious, here are Arte's articles:
