I was wondering - if say I created a site/gambling script but it wasn't legal to host in my country - could I "license" my created software to someone who can legally run it and collect license fees from it?
Since creating gambling software isn't illegal, this would seem to be okay?
If I'm missing something let me know, thanks!
I'm not a lawyer, but i think you're pretty safe doing this... I don't hold the licence to operate a coffeeshop in the netherlands (the ones where you can buy weed), but i'm pretty sure i can
write a tool for somebody operating a legal coffeeshop... I don't have a licence for firearms, but i'm pretty sure i can
write a website for a legal armsdealer,...
Once again: if you're unsure, contact a lawyer, no legal advice you'll get on this site will be 100% guarantee, even if it comes from a verified lawyer (unless it's a lawyer from your country/state/...)
there is a big difference between making a tool or making a website for someone to do these things for example designing a website for someone else to sell firearms is so different from
sharing the income.
if you take the money generated from the business then you are an accomplice, unless you launder the money too!!
I'm not a native speaker, but if i understood the OP correctly, he isn't running the site, he just asks a licence fee for his software... If the person running the casino is the owner and has all the necessary licences (or lives and hosts the casino in a country where no licences are needed), i think it's OK. A lot of software developers ask weekly/monthly/yearly/one-time licence fees for products they made.
Once again: i'm neither a lawyer, nor a native english speaker, so i might have missed the point in the OP, or my advice might be legally wrong. I'm just trying to make a logical reasoning and comparing his business model to other "grey area" businesses like armsdealing, drugsdealing, legal software, hospital software,...
