We are often working with larger companies that have standard Master Services Agreements (MSAs) or Professional Services Agreements (PSAs). These agreement templates are designed so that these companies have a known legal foundation to work from, and include a variety of requirements and terms that apply to the consultants working for them and governing the Deliverables created by those consultants.

Have you (or anyone you know) written about open source intellectual property concerns for contracts? For example, if you want the resulting code to be open source? Or if the client wants work-for-hire that they own, how you clearly differentiate between what is and what ain't, since you will probably be re-using some of your previous open source code along with new client-specified code? (I do understand your note that this post is over a month old, and did check later for followups.) Very interesting and useful advice.
