A his property so he can license at whatever price he wants. B it's not clear from your description that you are obligated to continue to work at a below market rate. Why not quote your current rate and accept he may not hire you. Consider setting a rate that you are happy if you get the work and not unhappy if they choose someone else because they won't pay your quoted rate. C. This is a negotiation. Quote a rate that you are happy if they accept your bid and not unhappy if they are not willing to pay it.
