Landon,

As a consultant, I never actually proposed a contract.  When it was up
to me, I'd just write up a statement of work. Sometimes I had to sign
contracts created by the clients of course.

For the most part open source geospatial isn't different than any
other business.  The one item I was always careful about was making
clear what software products were remaining under an open source
license vs. becoming the property of the client.

Best regards,
Frank
