I personally would never be prepared to transfer copyright. I would accept not being able to get a fee for the work done, but copyright should always stay with the author of the relevant piece of code! In fact, if the code would later be sold (outside the QL community) I would not accept my code being part of that if I do not get a part of the fee! Joachim
