For the "magazines" I publish (published in the case of "the world of 68' 
micros"), I always asked for 1) first publication rights, limited to a max of 
six months (if I didn't publish in six months, the author could publish 
elsewhere, sometimes as little as 90 days), and 2) rights to 
publish/republish in whole or part with no time limit. I did not, however, 
ask for copyright or anything exclusive past the first six months or agreed 
upon time period, just a "right of publication" as outlined above. So the 
author retained copyright, I just had permission to use the material once it 
was submitted. The author could do anything with his work. This is simple and 
served my purposes as well as reasonably served the author.
