Hi Plonistas
I know you aren't (all) lawyers, but I could use some general guidance
in the following situation:
Customer A hires me to develop a product that extends some AT Content
types along with code that uses those content types in a reasonably
proprietary way. It also requires new roles that represent different
'levels' of membership.
Customer B already wants/needs exactly the same roles set up for his/her
product.
Customer C needs content types that are virtually identical to those
used by A, used in a slightly different but similar way.
Question: How do you distinguish ownership/copyright and licensing of
paid work when some of the work is configurations, some is coding, some
is probably reusable or you think you 'may' be asked to do the same
thing again at a future date by other customers (or perhaps even his/her
competitor). Who owns what?
TIA
Ian
