It really depends on what you're paying for. If I buy a piece of proprietary software I buy a licence to use it and I wouldn't expect to own the source code. So the real question is are you paying for the developers / artists service (ie paying for their time) or are you buying the product itself? That's a discussion that has to happen between the customer and the company selling their services. For what it's worth,…

If I was paying for a developer to write the software for me, I would expect to own the portions that were written as part of that comission.

It's not what can happen (you can contract all sorts of conditions), it's that retaining ownership seems to be the standard for comissioned creative work.

I prefer it over the suicide.mp3 we found in a proprietary software's code base

Umm... Do you mind if I ask for some context there?

I dont really have any. All context I can provide is that someone told me to go look at that expensive frameworks sourcecode and search for a suicide.mp3.

All it contains is a loud scream I think, and the framework provider pretends the file is not there

The Guardian font seems to not be exclusive to Guardian: https://commercialtype.com/catalog/guardian

I've found that for instance Berlingske in Denmark uses the Guardian font pack: https://www.b.dk/

This is not even close to bretonne crêpes. Either you use buckwheat floor and water, in which case you are making Galettes. Either you use plain white wheat floor, in which case it's crêpes you are doing. Under no circumstances you can put sugar in it, it's only added at the end. And of course, it's missing the most important ingredient: butter. #notevenclose

I am the author of this file. As one of the comments guessed, I was making them for my team. Agreed about the butter, very important! That's why the recipe mentions "paint the crêpe with butter". This is a family recipe carried over generations from the Pays du Léon. There are many sub regions in Brittany so I would not be surprised if your family's recipe differs. The other part of my family comes from Rennes, where…

I can attest, this man surely knows his Galette-Saucisse stuff !

I'm sorry for your loss, take care!
