I'd recommend you go buy and read a copy of 'Web & Software Development: A Legal Guide (3rd edition)' by Stephen Fishman. You'll get a good overview of copyright and other legal issues as they pertain to software development, as well as several boilerplate contracts you can adapt to your particular needs. Even if you go on to hire your own attorney (always a good idea IHMO), reading this book will give you a good foundation for talking to him or her.
>So these guys I'm dealing with are pretty testy... They're afraid of the work that I'm going to do for them will result with me turning around and selling everything to the world making me a billionaire. So I really don't have any lawyers, and need some sort of Terms and Conditions that will sway my client, my way... I don't have a month of time or money to see a consultant. Does anyone have some sort of chop chop chop that I can use???
