For example, I have *heard* that anything I write on my own time belongs to my employer, etc, things like that. On one end, what if I put together my own software product which I want to sell, does profit really belong to my employer, on the lower extreme, what if I write my own library and decide to use it in a project for work, how do I keep that part of the code as my own. ....Just examples, does anyone know where I can find more info on this? The first place to look is in the contract your employer would offer you. If there are any provisions in there that you don't like, talk to your employer about them. -- Will Dyson "Back off man, I'm a scientist!" -Dr. Peter Venkman _________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug
