Delivering a database
We will deliver the components of your database and install them on your PC and we will
also deliver the source code that generated the program.
This gives you the long-term security of owning the system that we have developed for
you. We have every intention of staying in this business but you need the security of
having the source code so that you can turn to somebody else should anything unforeseen
happen to us. Without this source code you would be unable to make any changes to the
system or fix any faults as they arise.
The code will be well-commented as an aid to future developers. We can
provide full documentation for users or developers if required. We can also
deliver various levels of
support
if you need the flexibility of being able to make continuous improvements
to your database for yourselves.
Licenses and Copyright
You will own the software once you have paid for it in full and you
will be free to make as many copies as you need for your users to
run on as many PCs as necessary. Microsoft Access systems will need an appropriate
copy of Access on each PC. FoxPro systems are delivered as a complete package with all
the files needed to run the database on any suitable Windows PC.
Although you as the client own the code that we produce for you, we retain copyright
and you will not be able to sell copies of the program to third parties. We also
retain the right to reuse components that we have used in your system. Many of these,
for example a login screen, are part of our standard library.
