Software Development
What should I consider when preparing to sell a software product I am developing? I'm an experienced programmer, but have not had to deal with the Legal side of things. Do I need a EULA? Can I draft this myself or should a lawyer do it? How does licensing work?
Re: Software Development
I'm quite surprised any attorney would recommend you give this a go yourself, given your lack of a law degree and, my impression from your question, even the most rudimentary understanding of what legal agreements are needed, let along what they should contain, and how they should be worded. As a result of seeing numerous clients who came to me only after "doing it themselves" first, I believe I confidently say that most of these wished they would have started out with legal assistance, and in most cases, it would have saved them money, time, and/or frustration, too. I am in Southern California, so no interest in your business - would recommend you find someone local to you for proper assistance.
