Subject: Plugins licenses and Client Agreements
My client sent me this agreement drawn up from their lawyer that
included the following:

(c)     the Contractor shall not bundle with or incorporate into any Work
Product any third-party products, ideas, processes, software, codes,
data, techniques, names, images, or other items or properties without
the express, written prior approval of the Company;

Now, I advised them from the get go that this doesn't make sense
because we are using Rails which has an MIT license and permits us to
use Rails for a commercial website, so a clause like this doesn't seem
to take into account that we are building a website and not packaged
software.

However, I don't know what to do about this as far as keeping the
lawyer appeased about the plugins I'm using.  Some people license
their plugins with MIT some just don't include a license.  For those
that don't include licenses do I have to contact them for license to
make this truly legally kosher?

What do you guys do about this?
