That was how I understood it, too. And it seems fair, reasonable, and in line with normal practise.

FWIW, anything I've had published in fanzines, I've retained copyright (or we as a a group of authors have). I can't remember the exact clause, but I believe the fanzine could do as many reprints as they felt like without permission, or something. Payment was a free copy of the mag in question (this was a large part of the reason I was doing the writing!)
Again, fair and reasonable.
AFAIK none of my exact wording ever made it into any Issaries publication - concepts, yes, but not wording. So I can't comment on copyright. But they've always been if anything overgenerous about credit and "contributors copies".
