Just to add agreement to what others have posted: When somebody has asked
for my permission to put one of my articles in their newsletter, that person
has always sent me a copy of the particular issue. To me, its an honour to
be asked and a privilege to be published!
Seems standard, its a reasonable practice and everyone seems happy.
I suppose it depends much on the article. Now if I wrote a copyrighted
article on my thesis for a new engine technology based on say, ceramic
engine parts and a ram-jet drive propulsion unit... then I would be
less inclined to allow that to be published by folks I do not know that
well -- and for virtually free, no less! Those kind of articles are
reserved for my friends at the Royal Society (ahem)!
Cheers!
