OpenSales (my employer) is working on a set of supporting legal
documents. We've drafted a developers agreement as part of our code
submission process, and have posted it for review at
http://www.opensales.org/html/devagree.shtml
Developer agreements are something I've advocated for companies engaged in
free software development. I believe they offer protections to both
companies and developers. Their use is somewhat controversial -- the
FSF has one which requires copyright assignment, XFree86 uses one, as do
a handful of other projects, but most seem not to use one, or drop those
which they've used in the past (eg: Python and CNRI).
Comments and feedback appreciated.
Thank you.
