Protecting Your Code While Allowing Source Access? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/26/0232254
[0]foo_48120 asks: "My small development shop, myself and four
employees, is taking on a fairly large job that will run a substantial
part of the clients business. To protect themselves they want the
source code to the project. Frankly I don't blame them. We bid
aggressively to get them to underwrite our own efforts to build this
code, which we plan to resell again and again. That is the basis for
our company. I have no problem with them holding the source but need to
make it clear that we own the code and that they have a license to use
it in their business. They may at their discretion hire others to
modify the code, but would still be required to pay their maintenance
contract and be prohibited from reselling it or using it to run an
additional business. How do you provide open source without escrow, yet
protect what we are documenting up front as out intellectual property
rights in the ownership of this code?"
