I agree, I think Jo is over reacting. I think that if Steve had been given a researchers fee for the help he gave Jo when she used his web site, that this would be a non-issue. She should at least acknowledge his help, and that sit down probably wouldn't hurt her position either.
I think that Steve probably assumes that in order to make an encyclopedia, they are going to use his site again (my guess is that the publishers will probably do most of it and have Jo add a little more to it, and just as he needs her permission to use her intellectual property, she needs his permission as well.
