hey michael, I really appreciate your response, its good to have feedback. #3 and #4 are too expensive for me right now. I found this law article on copyright ownership of "computer programs" to be relevant: https://calico.org/html/article_478.pdf https://calico.org/html/article_478.pdf "an independent contractor owns the copyright in any work he creates unless there is an express signed agreement that the work [is] for hire" My reading of the article suggests that as long as I'm not classified as an employee, and haven't signed away copyright, I'm likely the sole author, and at worst a joint-author "entitled to modify, reproduce, or distribute copies of the work". The article also lists court precedents that suggest that specifying features and even supervising dev still leave the programmer with sole ownership. I know I'm not going to get sound legal advice from HN but a chorus of IANAL g Still, I'm curious if anyone has experienced similar situations and what they learned!
