If you're sure that they're pretty much ineffectual, how about proposing that each of you own a license to the software as it currently exists, and can continue to build a company on it - with perhaps a clause that the software cannot be sold or licensed to a 3rd party for some time period - a year or so. Opens you to possible competition, but could head off litigious issues. |

We each got a license to use the software in any way we wanted at all and committed to making no claim against the person for anything in the future.
We had several domain names. One of us made two lists, each list containing half the of the total domain names that we owned. The other chose which half they wanted.
And you know what happened? He did nothing at all with any of the code or domains, and I built a new project with one of the domain names and it failed. I did nothing with the code.
We're good friends today.
