By default in the US the person paying the contractor to write the code owns it. But, that does not mean there is anything wrong with the contractor asking for an alternative agreement. I do a lot of contracting work and my clients always own 100% of my code: but I could see that if I were to be approached to write something I could then market to my other clients (a lot of them are in finance) maybe I could ask them to develop for free or cheap to do that. I don't see any problem with being honest with your client and asking them.

Hello, My apologies in advance that this may not be the response you were looking forward to on forum question. But I discovered an older post online on the Hacker News site some time ago for a Remote Junior Programmer/Assistant at Luma. I noticed you were looking to make your first hire and find someone that has some knowledge in technologies such as Python and Linux. Well, I had completely forgot about viewing it and so I was checking out Hacker News job board today and saw it was for a remote Part/Full-time opening available at the Luma in the NYC area. Well I'm someone who enjoys coding and learning with Python as far as learning purposes/hobbies go. Plus, I'm someone who has been going the self taught route trying to break into the IT field/Python Development world. I also have interests in some of the things mentioned in the post such as finance/trading and business. But, more than anything.. I'd looking to further learn and grow in my skills as far as Python development goes. I don't have much experience with Django Web development but feel I can learn and pick up on it as well as with any other technology requirements quickly. After quickly reading your post on Hacker News I was encouraged and interested to reach out and contact you for more info. So with that said, here I am..and I wanted to inquire to find out if this opening is available? Or has it been filled? Also would you allow for training of junior developers to get up to speed? I had to ask because but I wasn't sure if you meant junior or for more seasoned developers. Also, you have a contact number to learn more about this position or information on the things you require in regards to the nature of the job to increase one's chances to be a part of your startup team? Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you Feel free to contact me at: pydeveloper22@gmail.com --K
