    Legal advice needed URGENTLY!

    ok, will make it simple... if you use any of the code/ideas/etc... generated or used while under contract to deliver your services or products as directed by them on anything that you will commercialize, the answer is they own it... that is my understanding for developers.. usually that...

    interesting that you guys are having issues with storage... but without knowing what vendors you are using, etc... hard to express an opinion... any trading activity/business generates tons and tons of data... but I dont think that should be a huge issue, my RDO teams manage about 5PB+ and...
