Hi,
Am I correct in saying that its the BWR that cannot profit
from the OGC because you are a none profit organisation? If this is so
how can the writers profiting off the material effect the BWR who are
stilll not profiting off the material. Assuming by this point the writers
are
no longer employed by BWR and no longer have any connection with
it.
I may be compleatly misunderstanding something, if so please correct
me :)
