The IBS's nonprofit status has been revoked due to failure to file, in which case its assets are supposed to be transferred to another nonprofit or the government (according to information I found online). But who owned the copyright on those journals in the first place, the IBS or the authors? I wrote an article for Herbertia, and never assigned my copyright to them. So my opinion is...I don't have a clue. Does anyone on this list have a law degree?
