xenoterracide

Ok, firstly, to clarify when I say minor, I mean someone under the age of majority, he appears to be of legal working age in Texas (where I am) and Massachusetts (where he is). In this case his father reached out to me regarding a sort of mentor/apprenticeship, so I know I have his approval (but do I need more? like something in writing?)

I have 2 contexts, Open Source contribution, and possibly on the startup I'm working on. For the startup, I need to ensure I don't leave some gaping loophole that screws me/the company later, so if it's not possible it would be good to know.

What sort of CYA's do I need to have in place? Yes, I'm certain I should talk to a lawyer, but I'd like to get an idea ahead of time, especially since the startup is only in prototype phase.

I asked about this on StackExchange here, but the answers weren't great and doesn't cover the startup problem https://opensource.stackexchange.com/q/11436/1060
