Hi Amy,

 

Personally, I refuse to sign off on the idea that code can be owned. What
are the chances that you're write similar code down the road? How can they
say that the new code you wrote is any different from the code you provided
to them?

 

Instead, I normally offer a non-competition agreement which stipulates that
I won't work for their competitors for a given period. That way they're safe
and I get to reuse my code for projects that won't affect them.

Subject: [flexcoders] OOP and Work for Hire

 

I was recently asked to sign an agreement that would designate a Flex 
project as "Work for Hire." I.e. I would not retain any ownership of 
the code I wrote for the project. This seems to defeat the purpose of 
OOP, if I create a whole body of code that I can't then reuse. How do 
most Flex developers handle the idea of Work for Hire?

Thanks;

Amy
