In Joanne's case, it was interesting because there was an agreement with
a funding agency for Joanne to develop her curriculum.
She had asked for a grant, and gotten it, outside of her regular employment,
but there was an agreement with the funding agency.
But that agreement did not explicitly say
that the work would be a work made for hire.
So, the law tells us that if, if it doesn't say
that it's gotta be very explicit, Joanne still own the copyright in her curriculum.
It's very important to note this truth about work made for
hire that, simply because one person or entity paid for
the work, that does not necessarily mean that they're going to own the copyright.
We ha, there are lots of independent contractors who continue to own
the copyright of the materials that they created.
