comment Employment vs Sole Trading - UK
The other thing to check is the terms of your current employment contract. There will sometimes be terms in there about the amount and kind of employment you're allowed to take outside of your current job.

comment Markup material cost on startup
This. So much. If you're entering a market where you are solely competing on price - not value - you're going to have a tough time.

comment Is an open source prototype a bad idea?
(Even ignoring the licence issue - on github using the open source repo means - to quote from the T&Cs - "By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and fork your repositories" - terms so loose to give a lot of room for discussion on what's allowed/disallowed).

comment Is an open source prototype a bad idea?
Yes - that is how copyright works. But the term "open source" has a specific meaning implying a certain family of licences. See previous link. Github may not enforce that in their T&Cs - but the term is trademarked and the OSI do occasionally enforce that trademark. This issue of describing source code in this way - even without an explicit licence - has caused problems for some organisations I have worked with in the past. I would strongly recommend consulting an IP lawyer if you use open source to describe your code if you don't mean to imply an OSI style licence.

I'm afraid you are mistaken. Open Source means a particular variety of software licence. The OSI have a trademark and enforce it. See the previous link opensource.org.
