RE: gEDA-user: Ones & Zeros Technologies Pays PCB Design EngineersRoyalties Same as Artists and Musicians

["Ostheller, Joel A. " <JOEL.A.OSTHELLER@xxxxxxxx>]

"This ID allows Ones and Zeros Technologies, Inc. and the client to
perpetually track "the PCB design" through recurring production in the
future. Upon completion and acceptance of manufacturing, with accepted
delivery and receipt of payment, the registered PCB Design Engineer will
be entitled to the predetermined compensation."

So basically... I am working for a company to design a board. If I go
through OZT, then my company pays X amount of dollars to make the board,
and OZT slips me a few cents for every board made. Over time the few
cents add up to a million dollars. Im sure my company wouldn't have a
problem with that.
