Kagi Frequently Asked Question

Question:

What about the accounting for software with multiple authors?

Answer:

The registration information details what portion of a payment is allocated to what software license. Payments are tabulated according to each software package. Multiple authors per software is not a problem. In fact, the registration applications themselves have a royalty associated with them so that all payments today are split between three entities right now: the software author, Kagi, and the author of the registration software.

When there are two or more authors splitting the revenues, we need a written agreement with each author. Payments to each author are made separately according to each author's wishes.
