My current employer tried the same tactic. I refused to sign the paperwork until the wording was changed. Now, they own the code that I write explicitly for them, nothing else. If I write a utility without request from them (even if they later make use of it), it belongs to me not them. -- Jamin W. Collins Remember, root always has a loaded gun.
