Ask HN: Who owns the codebase for a freelance project?

Posted by seanbecker on Saturday December 26, 2020 @09:40PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Currently working out a deal for a freelance project and debating the question of codebase ownership. It feels wrong giving my client full ownership of the code, but I'm not sure if it's standard practice to be paid $$ and receive partial ownership of the code.Does anybody have relatable experiences with contract negotiations for side projects? What does a standard contract look like?

The way this is phrased makes it sound like it's not a big deal. Doubling every individual's chance of dying within an entire generation is not something we should say lightly. Imagine if the base fatality rate was 50% rather than .5%.
