Dragon Magazines and Pathfinder

[Syltorian]

I'm not sure whether this belongs here or not, so apologise if it doesn't.

I have been wondering who owns the copyright to material (classes, class variants, feats, spells, magic items, etc) published in Dragon Magazine while it was under Paizo's tenure? Can Paizo copy ideas (verbatim or otherwise) from the magazines, or has the copyright (together with the license) reverted to Wizards?

Any thing that came from it is owned by WOTC . they mined it pretty heavy for splat books already.

Thanks for the answer. That's what I suspected, but I had held on to hope that Paizo could also mine some of it.

yeah I was disappointed to see many feats and such i have in the mags put in new books .The good thing is same people are doing this so cant wait to see there take on some of it.

yeah, I hope they can salvage some of the material from their run of dragon magazine for pathfinder rpg.

it's a resource that if they can use will allow them to build up the world and environment fairly quickly.
