Really John ... don't get me started!
Question ... who owns the code? Is she an independent consultant working
outside a 'Work for Hire' or 'Commissioned Work' scenario? Is she an employee
of some company ... implicit 'work for hire'? Has she signed away the rights
of the code?
If she doesn't own the code she is not liable ... period.
Cheers,
Bill
