Have you obtained permission from the copyright owners to do this?

Every instance I've had at contacting original writers has said yes and
publishers have simply not responded, or responded with unintelligible
legalise CYA BS.
As has been explained to me that published articles become the domain of
the publisher and the original writer has no legal say. Who knows what
their 'contributing writer' contract says.
Given the small niche of reproduction as compared to 'the law'...just do
the drill and if someone says stop, then stop. Keep about $3 in a legal
escrow for the one asshole guy who would make a case out of it.
