As they should. Copying the code into another closed source system carries with it all the potential liability, but in a way that is more insidious. 2) If you open-sourced the software when it was written, then it's just not a problem using it at the next job. In my experience, I prevailed upon my previous employer to let me write a paper for a technical conference describing the techniques I used to create the morphing software used back in the early 90's, so that I could use the ideas but not the code at my next job. http://www.hammerh

Could be read as supporting SCOX's arguments...and probably will be by our usual trolls.
