You need to define what is owned. Is it an algorithm that will help him get a %2 return on stocks or is it just an eCommerce and he is talking about owning the assets and have access to the code?
I normally tell my clients that there will be a copy of the code isolated in my own environment to help speed development (its a pain when you have to wait 3 days on a project to get started because you have to wait for ops to set up a vhost). I give them access to the repo on CVS so they can see the code and have complete access to it at all times. *Chuck Reeves* President 631.374.0772 *MANCHUCK* | www.manchuck.com On Tue, Feb 5, 2013 at 3:01 PM, Edgar Reyes <ere...@totalcreations.com>wrote: > ** > > From the conversation we had it seemed as if he wanted to resale it or > might resale it in the future, he’s argument was why am I going to pay all > this money for something I don’t own, I told him ones I’m done it, will be > yours to use as you please you own that copy, but you cant resale copies to > other people / companies.**** > > ** ** > > ER**** > > ** ** > ------------------------------ > > *From:* talk-boun...@lists.nyphp.org [mailto:talk-boun...@lists.nyphp.org] > *On Behalf Of *David Roth > *Sent:* Tuesday, February 05, 2013 2:34 PM > *To:* **NYPHP Talk** > *Subject:* Re: [nyphp-talk] Programs rights and Lic etc.**** > > ** ** > > At the heart of this would be the question -- why do they want to own the > copyright?
