Thanks to David for calling this out. I was tentatively hopeful when Must Read bought up the big SFF print magazines, but I won't be submitting my work to a machine built to exploit writers who don't have the toolset to spot the problems in contracts like these.
Apparently the SFWA won't name names but I will: ANALOG. The new contract under Must Read Magazines includes a moral rights waiver. And they are rather insistent about it. I'm guessing this applies to all the digests under MRM now, though I haven't seen those contracts. DON'T JUST SIGN. NEGOTIATE.
