As a consultant, I never actually proposed a contract. When it was up<br>
to me, I'd just write up a statement of work. Sometimes I had to sign<br>
contracts created by the clients of course.<br>
<br>
For the most part open source geospatial isn't different than any<br>
other business. The one item I was always careful about was making<br>
clear what software products were remaining under an open source<br>
license vs. becoming the property of the client.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
