Only he can say whether he's willing to make deals like this.  Some
people are, some aren't.

Hmm, let's see.  I've been a professional software developer, someone
who's paid to write software, for almost 30 years now.  My employers
have been large American companies.  None of them have sold proprietary
software.  (I did two brief stints for small proprietary-software
companies during college.)

I've been writing and distributing free software in a small way for
about half that time.  Some was written on company time, some was not.
