True, but if you contract to write something for someone specifically then legally speaking the copyright belongs them, not you as it is considered to be a "work for hire".
USC Title 17 Chapter 2 § 201 Paragraph b states:
USC Title 17 Chapter 2 § 201 Paragraph b states:
Also, technically, unless you GPL something there is no such thing as "No Copyright". So I'd have to agree either finding something that is GPL or hiring someone to write it for him are the two best ways of going about what he wants...(b) Works Made for Hire.-In the case of a work made for hire, the employer or other person for whom the work was prepared is considered the author for purposes of this title, and, unless the parties have expressly agreed otherwise in a written instrument signed by them, owns all of the rights comprised in the copyright.
