RIGHTS: COPYRIGHT of each separate contributing article is held 
apart from the collective work as a whole, and vests initially to 
the author of the contributed article. The copyright holder of the 
collective work, RUNE'S RAG, acquires the right of reproducing and 
distributing the contributed article, as part of the collective, 
any revision of that collective work, and any collective work in 
the same series. FURTHER, ONE TIME anthology rights are acquired on 
all published manuscripts, but will not necessarily be exercised; if

further compensation.

IN OTHER WORDS: The Authors retain copyright to their work! And have 
only released RIGHTS for publication in RUNE'S RAG, not ownership.

RUNE'S RAG will attempt to remain a vehicle for new authors to 
demonstrate their works to their most valued critic -- the Reader. 
A semi-annual or annual may be produced in electronic and/or 
hardcopy. The "Best of" will be marketed, and proceeds applied 
to continuation of this publication and payment to authors.
We hope to remain advertisement free -- but are wondering!

 RUNE'S RAG is released into as many bit streams as possible!!!
