Once company X has its software, both that company and >the programmer are free to distribute the source if they want to >(though neither is obligated unless they distribute the binary first). WATCH OUT! It will almost never be the case when a programmer is employed that s/he will ``own'' the piece of software s/he's produced. That will almost always be reserved to the company that paid for it, since any good employment contract (from the point of view of the company) will operate this way. Thus, the programmer will certainly not be able to distribute the source! -- Kurt Baudendistel --- --- GRA Georgia Tech, School of Electrical Engineering, Atlanta, GA 30332-0250 internet: baud@eedsp.gatech.edu uucp: gatech!gt-eedsp!baud
