- A software company is trying to buy an application I wrote for Macintosh.
- Since I don't have this kind of experience before, I would appreciate if
- experienced people on the net can give me some good advice:
-
- 1. Usually what's the percentage the software author can get from the
- company's profit? Any estimation in terms of dollar? (assuming say, $70
- each copy.)
-
- 2. If the company offer fixed percentage of their profit, how am I supposed
- to make sure they will keep their promise, since I don't have access to
- their balance sheet?
-
- 3. Do I need a lawyer to make it legally binding?
-
- 4. Any tips? Precautions? Suggestions?
-
- All helps and suggestions will be very appreciated.
