And it's not just Eric. I contributed to mathworld over the years here
and there. I never signed over my copyrights. CRC have published my
materials without permission. They will get a threatening letter from
me soon. CRC textbooks are dead in our department.
I am sympathetic with you since I contributed also to Mathworld
(and to Eric TT) but:
If you think this is a good idea, I do not. It will only make it
worse for Eric, because his original contract with CRC like
most publishing contract have a clause saying
that the author of the book contends he is the original author or
has secured permission for all included material and
warrants the publisher against any copyright infringment
and liabilities.
