Relicencing costs??

[Amit Dutta]

Yep, for work for hire, most big companies will have standard rates, but I guess not so much if they are licencing work that is already done? I've never been asked about relicencing from a large company though, guess they would prefer to just commission new stuff and art direct it, especially for illustration of IP work.

Smaller budgets generally look to relicencing work, but I do try and charge separately for the commission and the licence for every contract no matter the budget. Again that residual income is good, and work-for-hire sucks balls!!
