[AccessD] Ownership

Hi Richard,

I don't know if ECC law are the same for this, but the intelectual property
in Spain said that you can develope any tool in any languaje for your client
and the main source code and final application rights are for they (client)
but you can use this code or application to sell to another client.

Inly when you make a contract in the beginning you can put your basis for
this. We make always a contract with our clients how take the main source
code, except an MDE module with all standar functions of us that they need
pay for this use. With this solution you always protect your work for
another developers in the future, and can put open source to your client.

Hope this notes can help you

Hi

 

Appear to be getting requests for consultancy work - ie writing
small/medium Access/VB systems.   Does anyone know the ownership
situation for the UK. Can they (my clients) sell on any system I write? Can
they demand the source code from me? Or do I have exclusive rights to the
code and sell on?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Richard
