New copyright statement

From today, we are putting into effect a new copyright statement for all submitters to Lallans and the Sangschaw to agree to. We believe that this is a fair statement, in line with other magazines, and reflects how we’ve already been doing things: the copyright statement will make our expectations explicit, so nobody can accuse us of skullduggery!

The statement reads as follows:

Pieces submitted to Lallans, should be the original work of the person submitting them. Copyright remains with the author, however, submitting a piece for inclusion gives the Scots Language Society, though Lallans or other title, the right, in perpetuity, to republish the work in hard copy or digital form and to reformat it as necessary.

It is clearly displayed on the submission page.
