This is incredibly helpful, and I'm amazed with how in-depth you made the posts while making sure they're accessible to laypeople.

I only have one question that surprisingly(?) wasn't asked here before as far as I could tell: I'm not American. Obviously I'm not asking you to know about French laws, but how relevant is my contract going to be for both internal and international commissions as a French mapmaker if I base it off your tutorial? Surely most of it should still be relevant?

Thanks again for your incredible work, I'll make sure to refer my acquaintances to this post if they ever need help with contracting and licensing!
