Eric Zimmerman, the CEO of casual game developer Gamelab, recently published on Gamasutra what he referred to as the Game Developer Bill of Rights.  Gamelab is known primarily as the developer behind PlayFirst's recent smash hit , but Zimmerman has been in the game business for years and is well respected for his creativity and experience.  As a business person, I find the GDBoR to be mostly a blue sky wish list typical in most creative industries, but it's a thought-provoking document which summarizes common issues between developers and publishers/distributors, so it's worth a read for those interested in the casual game sector.
