For the most part, yes. There's still a whole lot of dickering going on over the definition of "out of print." Reversion clauses are still a sticking point nearly two years after the
Authors Guild and S&S battled over the issue.
Not that I think the AG is infallible--the Google Books settlement is a travesty (
see SFWA's take on it)--but in the S&S case they did a good job.
