Ownership and contracts

Intellectual property in the work we build for you is yours from the first commit — no assignment step at the end. That covers the custom code, documentation and other deliverables made for you. Anything we bring that existed before, such as internal tools or libraries, stays ours, and you receive a licence to use it in your systems. Open-source components keep their own licences, and we list them for you.
