Indeed, I have done this since 1995, and added, by hand, that I reserve the right of posting the papers at my university web page for scholarly purposes, with no objections by the publishers. However, for my last paper, I was sent a copyright form, by IEEE, to be electronically signed. There were no means of crossing things out or adding my own clauses, and no options for printing the form and faxing it! Moreover, there was a short deadline for signing it, on the grounds that otherwise my paper wouldn't make it for the proceedings, and hence no opportunity to negotiate. Martin Escardo
