Ehrn, forgot to add the intopic part

I'd take options 1-2-3 in that exact order.

1: i think that if you keep your "baby" with you until - say - at least a stable "1.0" release, it's better for yourself too. After that you could reconsider your options.

2-3: sometimes, opensource's success is just a myth. History is full of dead opensource projects or projects that once were closed source and when opensourced suffered a slow death because they couldn't find a dedicated team.
If you will be able to find some company/people willing to buy your sources you will have the advantage of an immediate income for yourself and the buyer will be in need to get some earnings from the product, so he will be motivated to keep it going.
Maybe you could try to throw in the deal some form of clause that will oblige him to keep the free version too at least until some certain version (f.ex. 1.0) or that if he can't deliver in a certain amount of time it will be automatically opensourced.

Ahh. Thanks. I missed that.

I call it like I see it.
Since he codes whatever Bill asks...perhaps he posts whatever Bill asks as well. The best thing he could do is produce something (AVD) rather than make posts in a public forum where everything he posts can and will be used against him...

I doubt he's putting in 80 hour work weeks working for his current employer. I think he could do option 1 if he really wanted to.
