> Wrote some program in my free time. Turns out it's quite popular and 100 people already signed up for the beta release. Decide to sell it over my company. Need an EULA. Prices are eating up a large portion of my profit margin. Generic EULA doesn't seem safe enough. What do?
Going for an EULA generator? Keep the profit margin high but risk a fuckup. Or going for the lawyer with a custom designed EULA? Kill profit margin but be safe instead of sorry.
Any suggestions?

>EULA Try the GNUGPL, faggot.
David Ward
Yeah i also support muh freedoms. But a brother gotta make a living. Thus my software is proprietary. So fuck off and go suck stallmans dick

>Implying you cannot make a living off of free, as in freedom, software. I hope you lose every penny, you filthy pig.
Bentley Martin
Didn't imply that. But my biz model requires it to be closed source.
I appreciate your support though
James Martinez
Then you need a new business model.
Angel Wilson
So i can please your opinion about free software and meanwhile lose my profit? Na I guess i'll stay with my model
James Turner
It's not my opinion. It's natural law you're fighting.
Oliver Peterson
Whatever man. 1k shekels already waiting for me. The only thing that's standing between me and the money is an EULA. So fuck your natural law
Tyler Allen
>$1k >A lot of money Might as well suck dicks if you're that desperate.
Gabriel Thomas
Considering that i didn't release the software yet, yeah i'm satisfied mr. jealous

>enters saturated market. >some interest expressed in product >"HURR, well looks like I'm going do what everyone else is doing."
Your code isn't special. My business is literally finding apps like yours and hiring 10 chinese teenagers to rip it off and beat it in a span of 24 hours. Then just punt your skinny ass out of the market because I have more money than you do for marketing.
read a fucking book.

>Generic EULA doesn't seem safe enough. are you retarded?
first of all nobody reads EULAs ever. i tried before but brain-melt in 10 seconds. so doesn't really matter what you put into it. citations from the koran or whatever.
James Clark
Exactly that's why the code is closed source. Wrote it in a days work an can squeeze up to 5k out of it by selling it to idiots who have no idea.
Never intended to make it my main occupation. I'm just sacking in the free gold coins and enjoying the financial boost, salty-san.
Aye, I already prepared a selfmade EULA with all default clauses in case i can't agree on a decent price with any of the lawyers I contacted.
Daniel Edwards
second of all EULAs are worthless as nobody gives a fuck about them unless you are a gazillion dollar enterprise that can actually enforce them.
so don't fucking spend more than 5 minutes on that shit. not worth it.
Jeremiah Kelly
>current year >thinking DRM or EULA will protect his shitty code If you put it on the internet you're giving it out for free.
Elijah Bennett
> implying i want to protect my code Not at all user. I want to protect my company
Justin Hill
in that case all you need to put in the eula is everyone uses at his own risk and you are not in any way liable for anything.

Wyatt Brooks
As a legalbro I think you should use a default one. And just make adjustments where you want.
