    Setup a licensing agreement for the base code that you've already invested resources into that they didn't pay for. I'm going through the same scenario on a side project of mine. They own the code that's specific to their application and license the base.

      That's what got this whole thing started. But, as updated it has been handled by the man in charge.

        The advantages of working with a smaller, more technically oriented company. In my case no-one with any technical background was every questioned by the lawyers.

            Ok, I should have added some qualifiers... balls being one, or at least the facsimile there of, the Tigress has been here since the changeover. And.... it requires some thick skin. Bark-like even.

                Are you sure? :confused: Although that doesn't necessarily mean I was wrong. I'd never call her a "chick," and her balls, though metaphoric, are quite brazen.
