15:22.33 brlcad Stragus: that's a huge it-depends, particularly with respect to whatever agreement you have with SURVICE. if you don't have something saying otherwise, using personal code for work can result in a transfer of ownership to an employer. if that has occurred, as opposed to some irrevocable worldwide unlimited license use, then you would not be able to sell it to this new 3rd party. I would recommend
15:22.40 brlcad against that anyways as people with that mindset are likely to want to exercise their ownership, otherwise they wouldn't ask for that.
15:23.54 brlcad If you want to sell and think you still have rights to do so, you could offer them a non-exclusive license (not copyright transfer)
15:25.43 brlcad Stragus: if you can't put a standard flexible license on it (like apache2 or mit etc) and be done with it, that would be highly suspicious..
15:31.29 Stragus brlcad: I have an agreement with SURVICE, I often bring in personal code, I keep the copyright and both SURVICE and U.S. government gets unlimited/unrestricted/perpetual/transcendental rights
15:32.34 Stragus I don't really want to sell anything, the guy just wants to bring the code in his project, and he wants uniform copyright over all the code for reasons
15:35.09 Stragus And he says I would still get unlimited/unrestricted rights to the code, so I could keep using it anywhere (even in SURVICE and elsewhere?...)
15:35.17 Stragus Also, argh, what a mess
15:41.09 *** join/#brlcad kintel (~textual@unaffiliated/kintel)
16:21.24 brlcad Stragus: I wouldn't without consulting a lawyer for those reasons. smells fishy under guise of "he just wants ... for reasons". well you just want to keep copyright for ... reasons too. let him have unlimited unrestricted rights. unless he's offering you a very large pile of cash and you're okay with the worst case happening (e.g., he sues you for using his code)
16:23.32 brlcad you could very easily accidentally agree to revocable rights, so you can keep using it today anywhere, but maybe not tomorrow
16:25.25 brlcad he could even in good faith give you proper unlimited rights and then deliver/sell the code to some other company who might then sue you for infringement. You'd win the lawsuit, of course, just after going bankrupt defending yourself.
