heh, heh. My uncle was ordered to sign a work agreement where his primary
employer wanted him to sign over all rights to anything he developed on his
own time "since he was clearly influenced by his work for 'big corp'". My
uncle countered with "So my side business should be co-owner of anything I
develop for you since I was clearly influenced by the projects I do on my
own time".

'big corp' shut up and and backed down.
