A gives specifications to B. B develops the software.
A buys a bunch of copies of the software from B and
resells the copies to its own customers. I don't know
why you find this concept so strange. This kind of
arrangement must be ubiquitous in the industry.
Note, by the way, that this is similar to a model that's
often proposed for how people can make money from free
software. A company pays a developer to develop customized
free software, but the developer retains rights to it and
can further develop it for other customers.
