I 'spose that I ought to comment too. RISC OS Now allows the author to

them doing so, I just ask out of courtesy ask that they notify me where and
when it's published.

And to clarify:
When we took over Acorn Publisher and Acorn User we realised that letting
authors keep the copyright meant that articles would be lost to the RISC OS
community if authors disappeared. It's a problem that was then getting acute
with regard to the copyright of software. For that reason we purchased the
copyright where possible and continue to do so. That way we all have
continuing access to resources and I have taken action to ensure that the
community doesn't lose out should I disappear.
