I’m curious if anyone has any experience selling source code. Not so much freelancing, but just selling code you’ve already written.
I’m living in medium to high cost of living area in the USA. I’m sick of the full-time employment - layoff - job hunt - full-time employment cycle. I don’t see the employer / employee relationship getting any better.
Looking for other ideas.
Licensing code is a pain and realistically you need to consult a lawyer who specializes in the area.
When I do freelance work I sell them the code and a perpetual use license that allows them to do pretty much anything outside of selling the code. If they want to own the code itself that’s extra. But I also haven’t consulted a lawyer either and I’ve only done that sort of transaction twice.
