[grc] Storytelling copyright guidelines

[Spencer Graves]

Wonderful.  Thanks for this.


JUST ONE QUESTION:  Do you also ask the authors or descendants if they 
own the copyright?  If not, you could get in trouble if one of your 
contacts says "yes", but forget that they've assigned the copyright to a 
publisher.


	  Anyway, thanks for the reply.
