Indeed, I also guessed and noted that Globe added on a lot of work to bring the app to the point of launch. Finally, indeed, Globe owns the intellectual property contributed by the duo as with the typical employee-employer arrangement and as confirmed by the usual release docs. At the bottom, all I really said was that Globe paid for what contribution they had to Web2Module with OJT-time pay. And thank you for helping set the record on that straight.

Without going into the boring details, the assignment to the two students was to create a plugin, which would enable a browser to send out SMS and MMS. Part of the requirements document also included the specification on sending out content from the browser, which was in the app created by the students. However, a lot more work was put into the app after the students completed it. Changes in the UI, integration with a different API for SMS and MMS sending, adding of charging functionality, bug fixes and several other minor and major functionality changes. I do not discount the effort put in by Olive and Joot, but a lot more work was done outside of the prototype completed by them. Obviously, it was also made clear to them (and via signed release docs) that all work would be confidential and all intellectual property would belong to Globe, as with any employee-employer arrangement. Thanks. Sherwin Sowy Hi,
