Hi,
I've developed a database as a side project. I'm not a developer, nor do I work in an IT dept.
This was purely a feasibility project. It turns out that the database worked, was adopted by work, and now seems to be taking a bit of a life of its own.
I was called into a meeting today, they're now talking about using the database as a basis for a much bigger project.
Can anyone offer where I stand with this ?, I have concerns about my liability in the event it all goes t!ts up, and I also have a vested interest if they take my work, which was largely developed in my free time at home, and produce a viable alternative to existing working practices.
Thanks in advance, I searched online but only found answers for existing developers who has signed contracts transferring their intellectual rights to the company that employed them. That isn't the case with me, who works in a completely non-related department.
