[QUOTE="Charlie McGee, post: 116303, member: 6656"] Re: Copyright, Patent, General Intellectual Property Discussion Since you are not an employee, but a volunteer, there is no employer right to claim "work for hire." You are the author of the creation and therefore the copyright holder. Some things that will be problematic for you are if - (1) you signed anything transferring your rights, or (2) the work is based on shared ideas and work to the degree that it is a joint work and you are not the sole owner.
