  1. I was hired to make software for 1 kiosk, now it is in 1,000 kiosks. Am I entitled to some kind of liscensing fee? I aksed my manager and he said that I was hired to make software and its the client's choice what to do with it. I think of Microsoft's stance, which is, it's in 1,000 computers (in kiosks).

    The kiosks ship out on Monday and get sold to buildings. The company makes money off of selling the kiosk and providing service charge to run and operate it. I'm really feeling ripped off at this point. Am I in the wrong for feeling this way?

      Ask them to produce the document signed by you that agreed to this.

      Ahh...the delights of working as a freelance dev :-(

      Unless you're in a position to negotiate right from the start, forget about per-use royalties and licenses. I guess you could FOSS it and screw them back, if they never made you sign any NDAs either.

      Yeah, if they screw you just GPL it. Then if the decide the GPL doesn't apply to them, get some FOSS lawyers onto them.
