Side question-- I've noticed that for cookbooks (and other categories of books) which I own, the copyright is held by the *author*, not the publisher. In contrast, for programming language books in my collection, the publisher is almost always the copyright owner. (The one exception that I noticed in a quick perusal of my library tonight is Queinnec's Lisp in Small Pieces, where Queinnec is apparently owner of the copyright for the original French text, but Cambridge owns the copyright for the English language edition.) Just curious: why is the copyright for CS books owned by the publisher, rather than the author(s)?
