I would like to discuss the flip side as indicated below. Consultants and companies own what is called intellectual property. It is knowledge or processes gained through the sweat of costly investigations and trial and error. This is a possession with value. All too often I see company information freely given over this net. If this is OK with your company so be it.
Consultants have only intellectual property to sell, information which is of value to other people or companies. If they give up too much information on this net what do they have left to sell? My point is no person has any obligation to give up intellectual property without due compensation. We are lucky to have such a forum and we should be thankful for the generous contributions.
