Finnish law doesn't require transferring author's rights to be done with |
| 12 |
a written form. Of course it's prudent to have some kind of a permanent |
| 13 |
record about it (you need to be explicit about rights to modify and |
| 14 |
transfer to third parties). I agree that this is a complex issue and |
| 15 |
best left to lawyers if you want to do a thing like this globally. |
