I've been doing consultancy for OSS development and one in-between company asked me to sign a contract that had a random clause in it somewhere that banned the use of OSS for work.
When I pointed this out, they said "just ignore that part".
Nope LMAO!
...if you are told in writing (say over email) to ignore a part of the contract, can you do that? Does that part no longer apply?
You can change a contract before you sign it
Let the other side know, ensure you make the change clear and initial the change. 8f they sign the contract too, your change sticks
In my country, anyhow
