    <ol> <li><p>What should I charge? Ultimately you have to arrive at a figure you both can live with. Start by asking what value the buyer will derive from using your product as a guide. It's probably more than you think.</p></li> <li><p>What does a commercial software license look like? It says whatever you want it to say, plus a bunch of standard legal boiler plate. As others have said, find a lawyer that specialises in software IP. Ask questions, If they keep saying they have to research it, it's probably a sign to look for another lawyer. </p> <p>Before you go to a lawyer have a clear idea about your goals. Here's a few things to think about:</p> <ul> <li>what do you want to give the other party. What/how can they use your product.</li> <li>limitation of liability</li> <li>warranty. What warranty do you want to give</li> <li>support. What support will you provide. Costs.</li> <li>termination. How will the licence terminate and what will happen when it does</li> <li>intellectual property. Who owns what</li> <li>how will disputes be resolved</li> <li>assignment. Can they other part assign the agreement to someone else. If so under what conditions</li> </ul></li> <li><p>How do I protect my work? If you can't trust the other party you probably shouldn't do it. As Aaron said "<em>If you can trust someone, you don't need a contract. If you can't trust them, a contract won't save you</em>." You can write all the contracts and licences that you want, but if it goes wrong, litigating it is a painful business. Best not get in that position in the first place, or at least make sure the potential gains offset the risks.</p></li> </ol>
