> By default, most development of the community should be open-source and hence published (that's the basic philosophy on which OpenERP model is based).
> Now if a partner have invested a lot in developing a specific module, it's not really fair to just took what he did without notifying him and making a lot of money out of it.
> Best practice according to me is to communicate with the original developer, and enhance together the current module. Buy a few hours/days of consultancy from the original author, it'll help him to finance all its R&D costs and it'll help you to gain time (and hence money) and acquire more experience on the specific fonctionnality domain you'll have to implement for your customer.

> i understand that it's everyone choice to share or not share with the community but my question was also about how we can leverage and also remunerate each other developments:
> Partner A develops an Insurance Module that he is not willing to share
> Partner B would like to use that Module for one of his customers.

> My understanding is that this will lead to a one to one negociation between A and B...But is there practices established ? is there an interest to establish some rules or a framework for this kind of collaboration?

You can seeHERE to know more on this. (We used the blog from OpenERP and information from C2C. Thank them.)
