This is actually the same terms we developers work under. When working for an employer, our code is not our code, but the employers. The copyright (& hence why licensing) is theirs. Your employment contract generally says as much somewhere. (It's also often taken too far and tries to detail that any code you write outside of business hours, in your spare time, is also theirs). Sometimes developers (myself) were able to negotiate royalties for games (after costs are covered, of course)... (but never amounted to anything) as an incentive.
