Правильно ли я понимаю, что при работе на oDesk.com
исключительные права полностью переходят Заказчику?
Или можно оставить исключительные права себе?

3.6 Work Product.
Any copyrightable works or works for hire prepared by Contractor in connection with a Fixed-Price Contract for Client shall be owned by the Contractor until payment has been made by the Client and accepted by the Contractor. If the Client pays an amount less than the amount agreed to in the Service Contract, the Contractor may refund the amount paid within two (2) weeks of the payment date and retain ownership of the Work Product.

For Hourly-Rate Contracts, the Client is considered the author and owner of works created once payment for the period of time in question has been made in full, assuming that all hours worked are properly tracked using the oDesk Team. Once payment has been made in accordance with the above, Contractor shall be deemed to have assigned all Proprietary Rights in the Work Product to the Client.

To the extent that under applicable law, Proprietary Rights cannot be assigned, Contractor hereby irrevocably agrees to grant, and hereby grants, to Client an exclusive (excluding also Contractor), perpetual, irrevocable, unlimited, worldwide, fully paid, and unconditional license to use and commercialize Work Product in any manner now known or in the future discovered. To the extent such license grant is not fully valid, effective or enforceable under applicable law, Contractor hereby irrevocably agrees to grant, and hereby grants, to Client, such rights as Client reasonably requests in order to acquire, as close as possible, all rights equivalent to full legal ownership. In order to ensure that Client will be able to acquire, perfect and use such Proprietary Rights, Contractor will: (i) transfer possession, ownership, and title to media, models, and other tangible objects containing Work Product to Client; (ii) sign any documents at Client’s request to assist Client in the documentation, perfection and enforcement of its rights; and (iii) provide Client with support and reasonable access to information for recording, perfecting, securing, defending, and enforcing such Proprietary Rights. Contractor also irrevocably authorizes Client to act and sign on Contractor’s behalf and take any necessary steps in order to perfect Client’s rights under this Agreement. In the case that under applicable law, Contractor retains any rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as "moral rights" (collectively "Moral Rights") or other inalienable rights to Work Product or Confidential Information under this Agreement, Contractor irrevocably agrees to waive, and hereby waives, all such rights, or, to the extent Contractor cannot waive such rights, Contractor agrees not to exercise such rights, until Contractor has provided prior written notice to Client and then only in accordance with any reasonable instructions that Client issues in the interest of protecting its rights. Contractor agrees to assist Client in every proper way to obtain and enforce the Proprietary Rights and other legal protections for the Work Product in any and all countries. Contractor will sign all documents that the Client may reasonably request for use in obtaining and enforcing such protection, including, but not limited to, any assignment deed which the Client may select at its sole discretion. Contractor’s obligations under this Section 3.6 will continue even after Contractor deregisters from or ceases use of the oDesk Platform. Contractor appoints Client as Contractor’s attorney-in-fact to execute documents on Contractor’s behalf for the purposes set forth in this Section 3.6.

3.7 Pre-existing Intellectual Property in Work Product.
Contractor shall ensure that no Work Product created or delivered by Contractor includes any pre-existing software, technology or other intellectual property, whether such pre-existing intellectual property is owned by Contractor or a third party including, without limitation, code written by proprietary software companies or developers in the open source community (collectively "Pre-existing IP") without obtaining the prior written consent of the Client to the inclusion of such Pre-existing IP in the Work Product. Contractor acknowledges that, without limiting any other remedies, Contractor shall not be entitled to payment for, and shall refund any payments to Contractor for, any Services performed on a Contract if the Work Product contains any Pre-existing IP that was not approved in accordance with this Section 3.7.

Мда (:

Какое-то участие можно, наверное, принимать.

Но даже копипаст нельзя, похоже, делать.

Жизненный опыт показывает, что исключительные права
лучше забрать себе во всех смыслах.
Всегда можно отдать назад.

Понятно, что оДеску так удобнее работать при возможных спорах.
И зачем только делают такое ограничение?

Мда, думал поработать с оДеском.
Они ломают порядок вещей. Понятно, что у меня будут наработки.
Получается, что нельзя их использовать в других проектах.

Понятно, что у меня уже есть наработки,
которые можно было бы применить.

Какое дело оДеску как я договорюсь с клиентом?
Не ожидал, если честно, про права такое.

А есть другие биржи за бугром, которые позволяют оставлять
исключительные права себе?

alexeyvg,

Алексей, зря спорите.
Например, ГК РФ разрешает отставлять исключительные права за разработчиком
по договору подряда. И никто никого не кидает.

kdv,

Понимаю Вашу точку зрения:)
