Dear Vivek & Vipul, Regarding the queries : a) He gets credit for the research b) Any one using the research paper as the basis for her research will give cerdit to original researcher and/or will make research available under simmilar license.
These are governed by the copyright Act, 1957 passed by the parliament of India. With the rights in Act, the developer of the software (with strict condition that he originally conceived the idea & expression) has the right over the same and enjoys the exclusive right ver the same. Therefore the researcher can grant licence/permission to any person for use of the code with proper credit to the owner. Now if anybody infringes the condition then he can be sued and you can claim the damages for the same. Here the basic thing is that the idea/expression/software must by developed and published with these conditions. This can definately sove your problem.
