And a conflict of interest can be handled by the employer firing the employee, that's all that's needed. As long as I don't use code written for them, either by me on their time or someone else, I'm free to do what I want on my time. If code written for them is used, it's theft, plain and simple. The fact that I do X for my employer doesn't mean I can't do X (for me or anyone else) on my time. I simply can't do the exact same X for both. > Cool thanks, will do.
