>File #9483 points to a dead link. Any other ideas?

Kevin,

#987 used to point to a programming contract. I have e-mailed the author to let him know his link is dead.

However, Evan has the right response.

The best and really only place to get a software development/maintenance agreement is from a lawyer that specializes in such things for the jurisdiction in which you want it enforced -- in your case, California. I have never seen a boiler-plate contract that would work in all situations, and too many instances where software writers have been stung by not having a good agreement. The California State Bar Association has a legal referral program which can put you in touch with a lawyer in you area. Most county bar associations have a similar program. The State associations legal referral number if 415-538-2250.
