- The stories will have 6 months of exclusivity in the anthology, starting from the date it is first posted.
- After these six months, the authors can do with the short stories whatever they want.
- Each story, if provided for download seperately, should have a reference to two download locations the anthology; one being the MobileRead library, the other being a store, author website, for example.

I still think this is going to be a problem. I'm not an expert, and I can't speak for any publisher, but this comes from Smashwords' Terms of Service, point 9a:

is the sole owner of the rights herein granted;

I read that as the anthology being one work and being offered by one authorized person -- such as the editor.



If the anthology was offered as an anthology only here, in Mobileread's library, then the stories could be made available anywhere by their respective authors.
