Post a bought Indicator?

April 20th, 2016, 10:16 PM

I have a custom Indicator that I paid for to a private party, but would like to Share it on this board. Can I do this? If so, should put the technian's name? Or is it enough that I own it and it's mine?

I'm not an attorney, but if you paid to have it developed for your own personal use, it's yours! You can do with it what you want, unless the paid party specified, in writing, that you may not share it. You own it. You can sell it, rent it or give it away.

Thanks. I failed to mention also that the Indicator was made to my specifications. I wasn't sure if Big Mike would allow something like that.

As soon as I figure our how to up load the Indicator, I will do so.

Thanks again.

@BigMike has a problem with posting things that have a copyright or if you try to sell something without being properly identified as a vendor.

If you made specifications and had someone program it and you paid for that and
you own it and you want to share it, then that should be fine.

I have paid for the development of many indicators : they are your property!

The best is to have that explicitly/clearly agreed between you and the developer when you make the deal.

You should explicitly agree that you own the intellectual property.
This is not default in all jurisdictions, but if you agree this, you are safe.

Adding to that:

There is also a difference between owning

a method (i.e. your spec)
binaries
sources

You can sell or give away your own method whenever you want - it's yours.
The other 2 items - i.e. the implementation of your method - are only yours within the scope
of the contract that you made.

If it's e.g. a classical license (not GNU etc), the code isn't yours but you are only allowed to use it.
Reselling and letting on lease already depend on legislation. Multiplication isn't allowed in most
legislations without explicit contractual specification.
