If I release a document out to the world under a Creative Commons license, and then I transfer my copyright ownership to someone else (say Springer-Verlag) who publishes the work, all rights reserved, what are the consequences of this?
I imagine that people who have a CC-licenced version of the document may continue to distribute it under a CC-licence. I imagine that also includes me, and I can still continue to distribute it under a CC-licence.
