&gt; sorry for your troubles<p>I might have chosen my words poorly.<p>I have not had any troubles with this legal situation. When I am employed at a company that pays me to write code for them, I have no problem with the company owning the copyright.<p>And none of my former employers have ever tried to claim copyright on any code I have written once I stopped working there. Actually, I do not know of any specific case where this has happened.
