As long as that is expressly said and understood, well fair enough.

Note: If I write an article for, say for AS&T, all the material becomes the property of the company's publisher. You have already importantly said (earlier thread); "Contributors would be listed and declared as copywrite owners of their own images." If this is true, there would not be a problem. (It means they could re-use the images again as they wished.)

Note 2: I was once caught-out in publishing some material elsewhere, then lost the ability to use some of it later for another purpose. I found out they then owned it! They too said it wasn't a problem, it ended being a frustrating legalistic one. Once bitten, twice shy; as they say!
