Copyright and Author's rights[edit | edit source]
Ownership of Work Product. The parties hereby acknowledge that the Work Product, and all documentation, information, systems, and other results developed in connection with the Work Product, will, to the extent permitted by Law, be a "work made for hire" within the definition of Section 101 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 101) and will be assigned to eQuality Technology which will release the work to the public licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 or later.
Assignment of Work Product. If and to the extent that any Work Product is not deemed to be a work made for hire within the definition of the Copyright Act, at the completion and acceptance of the SERVICE or DELIVERABLE, ACME Rocket Corp. shall promptly assign to eQuality Technology, LLC all its right, title, and copyright interest in and to the Work Product,.
Cooperation. During and after the Term, on eQuality Technology, LLC's reasonable request, ACME Rocket Corp. shall provide all assistance necessary and desirable for eQuality Technology, LLC to establish, preserve, and enforce its rights, title, and interest in and to the Work Product.
Moral Rights. At the completion and acceptance of the SERVICE or DELIVERABLE and to the extent permitted by Law, ACME Rocket Corp. shall waive all moral rights relating to the Work Product (including any rights (a) of identification of authorship, (b) of approval, restriction, or limitation on use, and (c) to subsequent modifications).
(Do not make these two sections adjacent in the contract.
To do so would feed the widespread erroneous belief that
copyrights and patents are substantially related. See
https://gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.html and http://locusmag.com/2016/11/cory-doctorow-sole-and-despotic-dominion/ for more info.)
Patents[edit | edit source]
Neither party will apply for any patent that could plausibly read on the Work Product.
