Does anyone know how to solve this possible legal issue. I created a website I wish to fully open source. The programmer and I both own shared rights to code in our area's (mine: front, his: functionality). Recently he has simply gone round me and published on the front-end which was my section with regards to e.g. authorship, copyright law here in the Netherlands. (he earns money off doing this of course.. basically at my expense )
My question is.. Can I simply publish the whole project for developers 'open source' or do I still need some kind of permission from him?? do I need it anymore, at all, ever? We had no formal contracts, I see it this way; the trust has been broken so I don't feel I need his permission anymore.. if at all, but am curious what you all think.. Kind regards, Sam
