Hi Darren, happy to read you again :)
I find it absurd that you can't use your spare time for your own stuff.
Does it mean that if you write 2 lines of code at 2:00am in your
house, that is still Oracle's IP???
It's madness!
As long as it relates to something in which they have business
interests, then yes.
For example, if I made a patch to the Linux kernel to fix a bug at home,
Oracle would own that IP (consider Oracle Enterprise Linux) even though
I don't work on OEL. On the other hand, if I were to patch FreeBSD for a
similar reason, Oracle would still own that because I would be working
on an "operating system" and Oracle is in the business of manufacturing
"operating systems" (Solaris & OEL.)

Oggetto: Re: IPFilter no more?
Oracle has no problems with me doing it but would own all of the
intellectual property (i.e copyright) for all of the work that I
would do.
*I* have a problem with that given that I would be doing it on my
time
and it would be me handing out freebies to a very wealthy man/company.
