I meant if they said "we own your code... or we can do this in court", would you go to court? I mean in your case its not even the same language, but lets assume you had a C# job and wrote code at home in C#? You'd probably just hand over your code and start looking for another job out of resentment right? Big Grin | :-D . The guy I used to know would always say "I'll sell my house!! my car!! everything!! and fight them to the death in court because I know I will win and then I will sue them for millions!!" lol... he lived on a different planet then the rest of us apperently.

My point is, if the company *wants* to be a-holes, they definitely can and will win simply because they have the bigger wallet.

Either that, or its easier to just not use it, lol.

If you had written it *before* you started and planned on using it at work, or even thought you *might*, you can just list it on the prior art agreement with a "free source license". Back in the day when I slummed in the MFC / C++ world, I had a custom control library that I spent around ~10 YRS on. I had every intention of using it and listed it on the prior art. At first, I was kind of an a-hole about it and didn't want to check in the source for it, but after the boss yelled at me, I checked it in Big Grin | :-D .

Oh well... I'm kind of leaning towards not using it at this job anyways because I don't want the hassle and my boss isn't the kind to appreciate it :p. I'll just prior art it at the next job.
