Work for hire is a separate (although related) issue. I completely agree that LiveCode cannot (with copyright law at least) prevent developers doing work for hire using a community license only. Of course morally if someone is making a living doing LiveCode contract development, then they ought to have their own license but if they don't need to publish their work themselves, the GPL doesn't place any restrictions on them. The only reason copyright assignment is required in the collaborative no-fee changing hands case with one license holder is because the GPL is incompatible with the App Store EULA and so whoever has the LiveCode license needs to own the copyright to the rest of the code to be able to distribute on the App Store GPL-free. -- Mark Wilcox m...@sorcery-ltd.co.uk _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
