[thelist] When does "bought code" become your own ?

[Jim McNulty]

The original license prohibited selling the code.  What if you contacted the
original company and tried to negotiate a new deal?  Maybe you could sell
your modified code and split the profit with them, or something like that.
It depends entirely on the company that wrote the original program, but it
might save you a lot of time and reduce the risk of a lawsuit.
