Here's a hypothetical for you that would help me
get off the fence on something.
Say you showed an individual some of your work at
their request and shortly thereafter had some corporate interest in your work.
Even so far as to receive a job offer to continue your work on the corporate
payroll. The upside is a generous "buyout" to buy all your existing work and
designs, relocation assistance, good benefits and the promise a good amount of
independence on the project, plus a fully equipped machine shop and access to a
dive boat any time you need it.
The downsides
All your work transfers ownership
Future developments may become proprietary and or
classified depending which means you can't really publish your work
anymore.
I'm really caught with the whole idea of losing the
ownership of work.
Would you jump on the opportunity or continue
working as a hobbyist?
