Help with a Batch File I wrote…?
First I want to make a few things clear about the situation.
The script is solely my property, it has not assumed ownership through contract.
I do contract work for a vendor for the government distibuting and installing computer leased equipment. I’m in my 20’s, and I wrote a batch file that does my job for me. I am supposed to do windows updates, antivirus updates, and a few proprietary software installs, but everything is accessable relative to my job, from within this one console.
So anyway, the vendor tried to steal it from me, and now I wish to incorporate some way to license it per use, but I have no idea how. Since they want it so bad, I wish to sell it to them (since I don’t directly work for them). Their techs were taking 2+ hours for the same work I am doing in 20 minutes, because I don’t have to download anything, everything is localized to removable media (or local network accessible). I am also interested in copyrighting the software, but don’t know how to; I never expected the code to become such a useful utility and becomming standard issue….
The code is internally tagged with remarks, stating that it was created during personal time, and displays my business name and site, since I do have my own (home) business.
Any help is appreciated!
