Obtaining Rights to Custom Code in Contracts

Open mgifford opened this issue 5 years ago • 6 comments

Wow, we've got a long ways to go with open source adoption. How on earth is this not the other way around. If any contractor wants to own the IP that should be the exception, not the norm. How are we expecting innovation to happen in Canada if we keep locking up our IP in 3rd party staffing agencies and USA owned companies?

Just noting this as a major policy hurdle.
