Simon B. StøvringA well-known company in our industry is offering me under half a month’s salary for the engine driving Scriptable. In fact, it’s not even the Scriptable engine, it’s the more polished Scriptable 2.0 engine.
LOL.
Follow up on this:
After I told the company that our prices are too far from each other to proceed with the negotiation, they told me that they believe that I should only be paid for the time it takes to extract Scriptable's engine from Scriptable and hand it over to them, not for the time it took to build the engine.
Bullshit!
With this mindset the next company interested in Scriptable's engine should get it for free since it has already been prepared for handover.
Last follow up on this:
I wrote the company to (politely) tell them their reasoning about the value of my product and my time is bullshit. Just now they replied "It's just supply and demand".
It's crazy how a company who recently got hundreds of millions of dollars in funding can be so ignorant about the value of other people's work.
Pelle Wessman@simonbs That’s infuriating!
This while they probably value their own code as an asset within their company when they do their accounting and being very protective about all their own IP 🤦
Did you ask if you could license their code on the same terms?
