To sell a work which is created by one party and published by another
requires the consent of both parties, the creator and the publisher. If the
work is a joint effort combining the creation of several individuals, each
must sign a separate contract for the publication. There should be a clause
in the contract which clarifies the distribution of incoming funds as a
result of the sale of the finished publication.

In the case of there being a "profit" beyond the coverage of printing,
layout, graphics and distribution costs, the fate of these funds should be
contractually agreed upon before any of the stages of publication are
embarked upon. I've never heard of a profit made on symposiae proceedings,
though. It's a labor of love and most researchers are expected to glean
their funds from grants, institutes and department budgets. Symposiae
attendence and the resulting publications thereof are considered as
peripheral, but necessary duties of their positions, if they hold such
positions. Questions of creative rights for researchers usually center on
the "stealing" of ideas, and not the financial remuneration of their work,
so many are willing to get their work out as quickly as possible so as to
consolidate their creative territory.
