hartsock's Journal: Private Contracts

Tuesday I'll find out if my proposal goes through. If I get it I'll have three weeks worth of work on a product I will be allowed to keep lic. rights for. I will be able to resell the product to other companies for reuse use on their own internet and intranet sites.

I would like to opensource the project to try and get more exposure. I don't see how to do this without essentially shooting myself in the foot. I read the article on "SleepyCat" and I would love to have a business model just like that. I can't see how to do it with essentially end-user-products which is what I make.

What's a poor PERL 5 programmer to do?
