I need some more info on why Cirrus has to sign over the "rights" to the code. This is a stickler for our legal, and they are concerned as to why we have to sign something. I know, I know, but if there is any documentation as to why we have to do this, it would help me a great deal. I'm still working with our legal department, and I think I can get it done, but would like more ammo is yall have anything else for me to help the cause.....
