Absolutely. We should explain, AGA's only rights are
exclusive first publication plus those non-commercial uses
that are conferred under applicable copyright law. When
submitting an original article to TAG, the author retains
full copyrights to that article.

Therefore, it would be best to seek permission to use an
article from the author or find out from the author if they
have relinquished copyrights subsequent to its sumission
to, and publication in, TAG.

That's too technical be as nice as we want, but I think it
covers the bases.

Karen knows this stuff much better than I.
