I did. They suggested I first try to find an existing template rather than paying to draft something new. Contracts can be subtly complicated and open source can make them more-so.

why don't you take a monetary contribution from company towards open source features under open source license. They would contribute per feature delivered based on a milestone plan you define. They have zero ownership, no contracts required, they get their features, while you have required monetary support. is that not the open source model? simplifies contracts( ie eliminates) as well.
