Talk to a lawyer. Yesterday. I'm not one. :ha, ha: My memory back to college is a little vague, and this was never discussed as an official class, but it came up with a few of the teachers 'after hours' ... There was a time when (as a student) even if you developed something on your own computer with software you bought on non-school premises, the school owned it. ( Pretty sick, especially since the student is paying the school ). Those laws changed, but I think the programmer still has to give a free license to the school to use it. (did I mention that nothing I say is legal advice and you should talk to a lawyer?). Of course, I graduated from school 3-4 years ago and I imagine that the laws have probably changed again. I imagine the 'ownership' in a real-life employee employer situation is even more sticky. Have I mentioned that I'm not a lawyer and none of this constitutes legal advice? You may be SOL. Someone said that as long as you created it on your own time with your own resources, it is yours. It makes sense, but I wouldn't be my life on it (w/o talking to a lawyer). -- Jeffry Houser | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: Reboog711 | ICQ: 5246969 | Phone: 860-229-2781 -- I'm looking for a room-mate in the Hartford CT area, starting in August -- Instant ColdFusion 5.0 | ISBN: 0-07-213238-8 http://www.instantcoldfusion.com -- DotComIt, LLC database driven web data using ColdFusion, Lotus Notes/Domino -- Far Cry Fly, Alternative Folk Rock http://www.farcryfly.com | http://www.mp3.com/FarCryFly Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-community@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
