So I keep a copy of every of my home production, and sometimes share it (like the CSkinProgress), sometimes reserve it for further production ! I'll get 'paid' with my own work once I'll release some shareware things based on my home works ! It's a different situation that I'm used to, but this doesn't work with my current employer. This software is very specific to Telecoms, it runs on Solaris SPARC machines ,the core have well over 1 million lines of code in c++ , apart from other components in c++ and java . No way that my employer will accept that part of the intellectual property was actually mine, they have a very strict policy concerning licensing. In this kind of company unfortunately I cannot do what you do. Kochise wrote: Turn bad situations into your own advantage !
