I think we should go one step farther in this. It's true that consultants should
not receive the same type of agreement as we would send to subcontractors ---
but it is crucial that agreements are executed with consultants. They are
normally very restrictive in terms of intellectual property and other
considerations. They should be done on a fixed price or daily rate basis, and
should in virtually all cases be done on a work-for-hire basis.
