Nathan, The differences in custom for publishing is understandable, I guess. Publishers usually have a number of authors anxious to be published, whereas computer consultants are generally only writing something because the client wants it badly enough to pay for it. It is customary that a client is given an unrestricted, though non-exclusive license. Often, too, actual assignment of the copyright is contracted, but in those situations the software is usually highly specific stuff, with limited reusability. Al
